Thanks for sharing! Just exactly what I wanted to look for, road conditions. We are going on a 395 trip in May and I have been wondering how that road is. Looks like no paved road leading to Mobius Arch, right? How far a walk is that from good parking? Thanks again!
Correct that the road to Mobius Arch is not paved, but it’s a maintained dirt road so that section is not bumpy and easily driveable. From the 395 you will turn West onto Whitney Portal Road (the only stop light in town), drive about 2.5 miles to Movie Road and turn right. Then about 1.5 miles down the road there will be a fork in the road on the right. Go right and there’s a dirt parking lot. The Mobius Arch trail head is right there at the parking lot and the trail is only a little over 1/2 mile loop total. So overall, it’s easy to get to and an easy hike. Have a great trip!
@@exploringnewhites Great! Thank you for taking the time to respond. Looking forward to visit the sites there! We will be traveling in our 24' Class C motorhome with no towing. I was a little worried about the roads and not sure if we should do it. Your video really helped!
@@rebeccachiu725 There were other Class Cs there...probably the best thing to do is grab something that you can see from the road (Movie Road) is fairly flat, then you won’t have to drive down an uncertain road. . Weekdays should be easier. So glad it was helpful, & thanks for subscribing!
This is such a great place to stay and enjoy. How lucky you were there when there was snow on the mountain tops! Wont it be fun to meet up here in the summer time
Scenery is gorgeous! Wow, that is a beautiful spot you have...... How is that sky at night? Amazing rock formations too! Love this spot - thanks for sharing! 😀👍
The sky at night is spectacular! I tried to get some pics but I’m a beginner, my camera got stuck in another mode & I couldn’t resolve the problem. I had beginner’s luck at Joshua Tree a few months ago. Gotta keep learning, but it was beautiful to look at. Thanks for watching!
Alabama Hills is just an awesome place. Free camping surrounded by awesome scenery, it is one of our favorites! Whitney Portal has amazing 🥾 hiking. Nice video. Just subscribed!
Wow what a beautiful area the pictures are amazing. Love the drone footage. The sunsets were beautiful. We hit the red button. Thanks so much for sharing. KTKamping Kent and Tami
What a great idea to cover the road conditions in the video.. we have a huge worry with getting our RV into places.. That was a huge dips and would be an issue for us! What a cool hike and loved the dog in the hole tunnel. Looks like a place we would love to camp at! Chasing RV Sunshine ☀️ Joel, Deb and 🐕 Maya
Thanks, the road conditions were the one thing we couldn’t research prior. In fact, initially we went down a pretty bumpy road and had to turn around...with a trailer! Let’s just say we may have scrapped a bush or two! 😬
@@exploringnewhites that’s a worry to to get down somewhere and not be able to turn around.. glad you were able to get turned around and only a few bush scrapes!
It was in January 2021. Yes they get snow! Although that was just a little patch of it except in the higher elevations as you could see on Mt Whitney. Thanks for watching!
I didn’t answer your other questions about fires. Yes fires are allowed but I believe you’re supposed to have a California Campfire Permit. This is something you can do online, and I believe you just do it once.

Wow Amazing places. Hopefully we can travel together someday. Enjoy it.
What time of the year was this (snow on the ground)? And are fires allowed?

Weird how Heart Rock also looks like lovers embracing with their heads touching too :)
Huh, interesting 🤔
