Directly off of Movie Road, this route leads to impressive views of rounded sandstone structures and the jagged Sierra Nevada Mountains, as well as three designated campsites. It is suitable for any passenger vehicle, but trailers must be cautious due to the tight nature of the trail's turns.
About the camping on this route:
All dispersed camping is designated to a specific site and requires a permit. A permit can be obtained online or at the Eastern Sierra Visitor Center or kiosks located on Movie Road and the main entry point in Lone Pine. Permits need to be signed and displayed on your dashboard.
The BLM has created a map showing the site numbers. However, those numbers are not used in the field, but each site is clearly marked with either a camping allowed or no camping allowed symbol on a clearly visible sign. Please be aware that all sites are first come, first served, and a permit does not guarantee you will find a site. Due to the area's popularity, it is best to arrive early.
There are six portable restrooms throughout Alabama Hills. If you do not want to drive or walk to one, you must bring your own system to pack out human waste.
Below is a brief description of each site, listed as if you were driving from Movie Road:
- 31: Moderately large for this area and suitable for trailers but not entirely level.
- 32: It is directly next to the road and provides a nice flat area to set up camp.
- 33: Good for trailer only if accessing directly from Movie Road.
