Alabama Hills Recreation Area Pictures, Photos, Photography

Within the Owens Valley lies the Alabama Hills Recreation Area, a rocky formation near Lone Pine. Managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management as the Alabama Hills Recreation Area, they are protected. The rounded contours of the Alabamas contrast with the sharp ridges of the Sierra Nevada to the west, however, the Alabamas are no older than the Sierra. Different patterns of erosion account for the difference.
