The Alabama Hills – Lone Pine loop offers a visually stunning touring cycling experience through a landscape that feels straight out of a movie. You'll pedal past unique, rounded rock formations and natural arches, with the towering peaks of the Sierra Nevada, including Mount Whitney, always in view. The route combines paved sections with graded dirt roads, providing a varied and engaging ride that showcases the dramatic beauty of the Owens Valley.
This moderate 5.9-mile (9.5 km) loop, with 703 feet (214 metres) of elevation gain, typically takes around 42 minutes to complete. While some initial stretches are level, be ready for steeper or sandier sections, especially if you venture onto offshoots. Always carry plenty of water, as you'll be cycling in desert conditions, and consider wider tires for better traction on unpaved parts.
The Alabama Hills are not just a geological wonder; they're also a famous filming location, having hosted over 150 movies and TV shows. This rich cinematic history adds another layer of interest to your ride, allowing you to cycle through landscapes that have graced the silver screen for decades. It's a fantastic way to combine natural beauty with a touch of Hollywood lore.
