Arches And Formations Of The Alabama Hills
Apr 16, 2018 10:08:52 #
A great place to visit this if you are traveling the eastern Sierra's near Lone Pine, California. For those that may be looking to visit this area, Orlyn Fordham authored "Arches of the Alabama Hills" a guide to 72 (of over 300) arches and 23 other features including maps, GPS info and color photos. This inexpensive book is available locally at the Visitor Centers and bookstores. From what I've seen over the years, all of the main dirt roads are passenger car friendly...and dusty.

The Alabama Hills are a joy to explore. Thanks for sharing your nice images. They made me want to plan another road trip.
There may be no such thing as bad weather there because such fascinating moods come with every weather condition. Any hour of the day or night gives a completely different look and feel to the same scene.
Just a side note for anybody who visits this wonderful area...
Try to make some time to visit the "Museum of Western Film History" in the town of Lone Pine, especially if you are a movie buff.
The Alabama Hills has been a favorite filming location for hundreds of movies and TV westerns dating back to the earliest days of Hollywood. The museum is filled with props and posters from movies filmed there, including the dentist's wagon from 'Django Unchained', the worm monsters from 'Tremors', 'Gunga Din' (1938), 'Iron Man', and too many classic cowboy costumes and six-shooters to count. A really fun, nostalgic place to see, especially if you are a Baby-boomer who grew up on TV westerns like Hopalong Cassidy and Roy Rogers.
A great place to kill some time if you need to wait for the light or the weather to change before you go back out to hunt for your own images.
