| no partners | | Before driving back to Phoenix, I headed out to Alabama Hills to explore the area again, this time at sunrise instead of sunset. I started at Arch Loop and expected to see a lot of people out there for sunrise pictures, but the parking lot was empty, and I only ended up seeing one other person. The sky had some nice color, and I was there in time to catch the first light hitting the Sierras. I went off the main loop and found a few other arches I'd missed on my previous visit.
Next was a brief stop to go over to The Eye of Alabama near Movie Flat Road, then on to Boot and Cyclops Arches. The morning lighting provided a nice contrast between the light rock of the Sierras and the darker rock in the foreground. I pulled over briefly at the Iron Man film site overlook, then made a final stop to see Three Brothers, the petroglyph/pictographs, and Gene Autry Rock. It was good to stretch the legs and get a short hike in before 8+ hours on the road, and a nice end to a fun trip. |
