Epic. Use these coordinates

The BLM page for Alabama Hills gives perfect directions the coordinates below took us out of town east.

Take Hwy 395 to Lone Pine. Turn west at the stoplight onto Whitney Portal Road, drive 2.5 miles to Movie Road, turn right. (Coordinates to that intersection are 36.59560° N, 118.10869° W)

There’s changes in 2022 more “day use only signs” at the front. Keep heading towards the back and it opens up.

Check the Alabama Hills page on the status of campfires they were not allowed when we went due to seasonal weather restrictions. And get your permit online if it is allowed. :)

Dispersed

Very cool spot for bouldering, very secluded and scenic if you love a mars looking panorama lol feels like outer space

Very nice view. Some clips of the film Ironman and Star Wars took place. Very cold around March.
