It's amazing that as much time as I spend in the wilderness, I really haven't explored the Sierras much. It is a beautiful range and I really have to get there and spend some time hiking in the wilderness. This is from a spectacular sunrise that I saw from the Alabama Hills with the Sierras as a backdrop. The contrast of the warm reds in the foreground and the snow-capped peaks makes for some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen.
The Alabama Hills were named after a confederate warship by some local confederate sympathizers way back in the day. Outside of the fact that they are in the desert, near the mountains and not close to any sea and they had nothing to do with the civil war and that the confederacy fought the civil war because of its support for slavery which is about the lamest and most embarassing thing in our country's history...it's a great name.
