About the Business
Barcroft Field Station, located at 3000 E. Line St in Bishop, California, United States, is a research facility situated at an elevation of 3800m (12,470’). The station can accommodate up to 20 people in comfortable dorms and offers three labs for visiting research scientists and their students. With wireless internet access and power generated from rooftop solar panels, Barcroft Station is an off-grid facility.
Constructed in 1951 in the White Mountains, Barcroft has been a hub for research on the physiological effects of high elevation. It was also utilized by Noble laureate George Smoot for research in cosmic background radiation. The station includes the Nello Pace Laboratory, a multipurpose classroom, living room area, and recreational facilities. Nearby are outbuildings housing research projects, an observatory dome, and a well and pond for water supply.
Five miles to the north, at White Mountain Peak, is the summit laboratory. The surrounding lands are part of the McAfee Meadow Research Natural Area. The White Mountain Research Center acknowledges the Nüümü (Paiute) & Newe (Shoshone) as the first Peoples and traditional land stewards of the region. As a facility managed by a land grant institution, respect is paid to the Müaddübü (Elders) and Hümü (our relatives/relations) of past, present, and emerging generations.
Reviews
"I had the honor of volunteering on two occasions for high altitude clinical research. Absolutely fascinating and rewarding experiences. The lab is a time capsule with photos, letters, and various objects that date back to its inception."
"Run by UC schools, it is not really open to the public but the trail to the summit of Mt. White goes right past it."
"Come for the food but not for your honeymoon."
"the staff there are fantastic. altitude is just right."
"It's open to people only special occasions. These 5 star review is for open gate parking to white mountain hiking allowed on special days in July and Sept."
