Alabama Hills
Rock Formation · Lone Pine, California
A field of rounded orange granite boulders below Lone Pine, with the Sierra crest and Mount Whitney rising straight out of the back of it. More than four hundred films have been shot here since the 1920s, which is why the landscape feels familiar before you have ever been — and it is free, open at all hours, and you can camp in it.
