...along the route to Lake Tahoe, CA, you’ll find this gem.

Alabama Hills is a great destination just behind Lone Pine, CA on old 395. Many will drive past or just through Lone Pine and not even know that this place of majestic rocks exists. Don't be one of them. :-) 

And if you take the direct route to Alabama Hills, you are missing half the fun. :-( Take the scenic route. Instead of just taking Whitney Portal Road directly there, take a left on Tuttle Creek Road and wind through the beautiful massive boulders. Then you'll take a right on Horshoe Meadows Road until you reach Whitney Portal Road and take a right there too. 

A left on Movie Flat road will lead you into the rocks of Alabama Hills. While you are there, check out the short hike to the famous Mobius Arch trailhead while you are there. Apparently photographers from all over the world come to take pictures of Mt. Whitney through the arch. 

Follow for future road trip ideas.
