Movie Flat Road view of Alabama Hills & Barrel Cacti
@codymayer22
Home to scenic desert landscapes and natural beauty, Movie Flat Road is a paradise for both moviemakers and photographers. Hundreds of American films, mainly Westerns were shot in the nearby town of Lone Pine. During my visit, I was particularly impressed by the purplish morning light on the mountains and the desert plants around me.

This photo of Alabama Hills and barrel cacti was taken nearby Movie Flat Road.
To get there by car from Lone Pine, take Whitney Portal Road to the west. Then turn right onto Movie Road and follow it until you crest a hill that looks back on the mountains.
This is a dirt road that can be muddy and snowy at times, so be careful. These barrel cactus can be found by walking north through the rocks.
