400 movie and television shows that were filmed in the Alabama Hills at the base of Mt. Whitney just a couple of miles from the town of Lone Pine, CA. I will post more on this place but we were captivated by the area and the little town. Movies ranged from Tom Mix westerns around 1929/30 to Iron Man and Man of Steel. John Wayne made a score of movies here and we stayed in the same hotel as he did. You can stay in his old room or in the historic section of the hotel. We opted for the 1960’s wing that was recently redone. Very nice. We did spend time in the old hotel lobby and ate an amazing breakfast this morning that we picked up up across the street and enjoyed the courtyard all to ourselves. Today was a long day in Death Valley, we drove more than 150 miles just in the park. It is big. More tomorrow.
