Mobius Arch in the Alabama Foothills from various angles
After we left Yosemite National Park, we had to make a long drive south to find an open pass over the Sierra Nevada Mountains - this was due to all the snow CA had last winter. We had to go to Bakersfield before heading in the direction we wanted to go. We ended up driving through a pretty canyon along the Kern River (we had never heard of it). The road was hairy - winding, narrow, with massive rocks jutting just inches from our car - no room for error on this road. The Kern River was raging but there were very few pullouts to check it out. Bummer. From there we went to the Alabama Foothills near Lone Pine, played around the arches, before heading to Bishop for the night. Very long driving day.
I took these photos in early June 2017.
