On January 30-February 5, 2008, Lewis and Judy visited this area after a workshop with teachers there. We had a wonder guide, Kathy Bancroft, one of the workshop organizers. She took us on wonderful guided tours of the area. One of our many favorite areas was the Alabama Hills near Lone Pine. Just wonderful.
Here are some of Lew's Photos:
The Alabama Hills at Lone Pine, CA were a favorite site for filming the back & white westerns of the 30's through the 60's. These "mountains" are very late in the "rock cycle." They are granite and were originally higher than the 15,000+ foot elevations of the Eastern Sierras that range to the west from Ontario, CA up through Mammoth.
