Mobius Arch

This was the grand finale of my delightful string of beautiful sunrises and sets that I was treated to while out in Death Valley. Obviously, this isn't Death Valley though. I took a side trip over to Lone Pine, CA for an overnighter. Lone Pine is just outside the Alabama Hills Recreation Area in the Eastern Sierras. Mobius Arch is a fantastically shaped and textured arch found there and is the iconic highlight of the area. It is perfectly situated to frame some of the high peaks of the Sierras...most notably Lone Pine Peak (pictured) and Mt. Whitney (the highest peak in the lower 48). It was an absolutely fantastic morning that I'll remember for a long time.
