A nice surprise for visitors to Mount Whitney region when they happen upon the Alabama Hills. This cool boulder field lies at the base of the eastern Sierra Nevada mountain range next to the town of Lone Pine, on the way up to Whitney Portal.

The infamous area features a drive named "Movie Rd". A historical spots for filming old westerns & cowboy movies. Plenty of television commercials & videos have been filmed here as well.

From the Mojave desert, take Hwy.395 North to the small town of Lone Pine. At the only traffic light in town; turn left up Mt.Whitney Portal Rd. & continue up to dirt road turns off on right side of the road.

Inyo National Forest just next door offers granite peaks, pinon pines to Ponderosa pines and Sierra Lakes. Plenty of camping in the region: from nearby Tuttle Creek & Lone Pine campground to the steep elevation ascending roads to Cottonwood Lakes or Whitney Portal/
