Description: Wierdly eroded hoodoos framed by the sharp peaks of the Sierras makes this a classic western landscape, and indeed this has been the site for many a movie. Take Movie Flat Road out to visit the location of such classics as Gunga Din, How the West Was Won, and Maverick. The Alabama Hills gather their name from a Confederate warship responsible for wreaking havoc to northern shipping during the Civil War. Prospectors sympathetic to the Confederate cause named their mining claims after the Alabama and eventually the name stuck to these unique hills.
