WoW on that second one; my favorite! Really beautiful!

Very nice

Very nice series. My question, is where in Alabama were these taken? Does not look familar.

cbbr · Nov-03-2009, 02:54 AM

Alabama Hills is in California IIRC. The second shot is great.

Great work Bill!

I have seen a bazillion shots of this arch and # 2 is a keeper

Wow, nice. I know where the Alabama Hills are in California, and never thought there was this big of a wow factor. Whereabouts were these taken off Hwy 395.

Straight out of Lone Pine. Take Whitney Portal road west about 3 minutes out of Lone Pine, right on Movie Road, and about 2 miles up is a parking area. It's a simple 5 minute walk to the arch.

Thanks. Wish I had known this while coming back from Mammoth this past summer. Again, nice job and good information.

Thanks!

I tried

Was trying to figure out a way to burn an afternoon up there as well, given the way the hills face in Lone Pine, but I couldn't bear the thought of trucking myself up to the White Mountains

wow..the light change so drastically in such short time. That 2nd shot is awesome.

#2 is great. It looks like alien planet or something. The color and detail are just awesome!!

Arch-tastic :-)

Many fewer arches in Alabama Hills (there are two right next to each other) than in Arches & Canyons, for sure. But this one has the coolest name, and the background s'ok

Thanks Dan!

Sweet! I was going to stop there on my way from Death Valley but ran out of time (like normal). My favorite is the second but they're all good.
