The Alabama Hills and the Ride Home

Leaving Lone Pine, Mike and I retraced our route, this time going north and then turning west onto Highway 108, the Sonora Pass road across the Sierras. Our view on the inbound ride was obstructed by smoke from the Rim Wildfire, perhaps 25 miles away. On the homebound ride, the winds had blown the smoke into the valley behind us, and I was able to take a lot of pictures, all from the passenger seat while Mike continued to drive.
