Alabama Hills are a range of hills and rock formations near the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the Owens Valley, west of Lone Pine in Inyo County, California. Though geographically considered a range of hills, geologically they are a part of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. While the rocks of Alabama Hills are identical in composition to the 14,000 foot peaks looming above, the difference in appearance is the result of the weathering processes. The Alabama Hills have become a popular setting for many movies and numerous commercials. The Alabama Hills Natural Arch is easily accessed via a drive down the famous Movie Road that intersects with Whitney Portal Road about 3 miles west of Lone Pine. Following a sharp turn to the east, the Alabama Hills Stewardship Partnership has placed a small sign and constructed an easy-to-follow trail to the arch.
The hills were named after the C.S.S. Alabama, a warship responsible for wreaking havoc during the Civil War. A favorite subject of photographers and filmmakers, the Alabama Hills Natural Arch, also known as Mobius Arch, can be found off Movie Road in Lone Pine, California. A lovely contrast to the towering escarpment of the eastern Sierra Nevada, the massive boulders scattered throughout the Alabama Hills have been chiseled away leaving impressive holes through the center forming perfect archways. The Alabama Hills is a favorite spot for hiking, picnicking,landscape photography and the Movie Road Tour.
