Alabama Hills - Outside Beyond The Lens
It’s been the backdrop for Hollywood films for nearly 100 years. From Hop-Along Cassidy to Iron Man, the Alabama Hills and its unique geologic formations have been the backdrop to more than 100 films. But this is also an amazing place to explore and shoot landscapes like nowhere else on Earth. Jeff, David and Zack set up camp and discover a different side of this movie-making hotspot.

All of your episodes have been great. Clint Eastwood filmed High Plains Drifter at Mono Lake. Took a motorcycle trip here, and Death Valley in early May 2023, before temps climbed. All of the passes were still closed for snow. Now 2 months later temps along Hy 395 are 90-100 degrees. Watching temps for a chance to return and explore.
My stomping grounds! I live in Ridgecrest. Thank you for your wonderful coverage of one of my favorite drives in California. 😁💜✌️
The Alabama Hills also has lots of small granite arches. In October 2020, I shot Mt. Whitney before, during, and after sunrise through Mobius Arch, including getting a full moon setting over the Sierra. The evening before, I shot Boot Arch and stars. I have only visited twice and spent less than three days total exploring. I need to get back there and spend more time.
I love how some of these make me get out my atlas and trace your travels, but I have to admit even though I know you are based in California the title at first had me expecting to see scenes of northern Alabama, the state. 😄 We once came down to Yosemite via 395 from Nevada on one of our road trips, so at the end I knew exactly where you were and we have seen Mt. Whitney from the other side which made this episode quite interesting. Keep producing great shows and I will keep watching.
I tell friends that I’m headed to the Alabama hills and they almost alway say they’ve never heard of it. My response is always that they’ve seen it, just didn’t realize it.
We usually pronounce it as "Me THU sa leh"
