It’s at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range near Lone Pine, California. It’s made up of unusual rock formations and large boulders that climbers love to tackle. It is a desert type ecosystem located on Federal BLM land. You may have recognized the landscape as this area was used in the opening scene of the movie “Iron Man”.
The Alabama Hills are situated at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Lone Pine, California
That’s Mt Whitney at top, center. The tallest peak in the lower 48 states at 14,550 feet.
Lots of flying dust due to dry conditions in California
Great place for dispersed camping.
Desert Vegetation.
Not a bad view. Look for some Milky Way images from this spot coming soon!
Nice camping spot!!
It was!
I drove through Lone Pine on my way to Independence. I remember loving that whole area. I didn’t drive into these Hills though. Great photos.
I like the Owens Valley. May retire there someday
I loved Indepence.
That town is the gateway to Kearsarge Pass which I’ve been up to
Great topography! I loved all the colors in ‘Desert Vegetation.’
I was surprised to see all this colorful vegetation this time of year
Desert flowers. Wow.
It was a treat to see them this time of the year
Love the photos!
The desert vegetation with the rocks that look like fingers is amazing.
That spot caught my eye very quickly
