Alabama Hills Nightscape Campout

Meeting Area:
Park & Ride Porter Ranch @10am

Movie Road in the Alabama Hills

(Tenacity Rating_1) 1 being easiest 4 being the hardest.

Interesting aspects. Eastern Sierra Nevada, Mobius Arch, Landscape Arch, Boot Arch, Mount Whitney, and Diaz Lake.

Lots of famous movies were filmed here and there’s a movie museum in town.

We will be practicing MW alignment and the Low Level Lighting techniques I've been using for years and maybe shoot some star trails.

Any vehicle should make it in there. The road is fairly smooth and flat with no potholes or jagged rocks. Camping Is Free!!! There is a fresh water lake nearby to cool off if needed and a beautiful refreshing water fall just a few miles away in Whitney Portal. No water or restrooms are available but town is just an 8 min drive away.

Dinner:
We will stop along the way for a meal. Or you can eat right there in town.
