Eastern Sierras - Alabama Hills

Friday, September 20th

After surviving the gusty winds that came from nowhere upon the Whitney Portal descent, time to enjoy the beauty of the Alabama Hills. 

One imagines that hunters and gathers, tired of the savannah, sneaked away to these boulders for a little rest and relaxation.  There are two entrances to the Alabama Hills -- one being from Movie Road (film locations abound) and the other, from the Horseshoe Meadows/Tuttle entrance, of which these photos were shot.  The movie location is an unpaved road, good for a mountain bike or car, by the way.  Thank you Mark for introducing me to this hidden gem of a ride.
