ABOUT THE ALABAMA HILLS
The Alabama Hills, nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada just west of Lone Pine, is one of old Hollywood’s favorite filming locations. The beautiful rock formations of the hills bordered by a vast open plain rising majestically to the snow capped mountains beyond has been a prime filming location for westerns since the early 1900s.
