• Alabama Hills Is In California!

  

  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.

• California’s Eastern Sierras

  

  Although not covered in deep snow yet, the Eastern Sierras from Lone Pine and the Alabama Hills are sublime. The morning light along with some clouds and fog made for some good shots.

• The Sierras Are Practically Snowless

  

  I took a turn out of Northern Death Valley NP and went into California’s Owens Valley. Not surprisingly, the Sierras had little snow. The first image is from last winters snow level in Owens Valley and the last three are from this years winter. Quite a difference.

• Wintry Owens Valley

  In the middle of my visit to Death Valley last week, I made a side trip through California’s Owens Valley.  The snow level was much lower than in previous years as California has been hit with numerous storms this winter. Unfortunately, low clouds obscured the highest peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.      …

  The Sierra Nevada Mountain Range is very approachable from Owens Valley. You can drive up to 9,000 feet in elevation and experience the rugged peaks and fresh snow.

• Detour to Alabama Hills in California’s Owens Valley

  The normal road I take to Eureka Dunes at Death Valley National Park was washed out. So I had to go around and wouldn’t make it to the dunes that night. So I camped at Alabama Hills near Lone Pine California. It has great views and the camping is free! And the full moon was…

  California’s Owens Valley is home to the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range to the west and The White Mountains to the east.
