More than 200 people attended the 1st annual Alabama Hills Day at the Lone Pine Museum of Film History last weekend. Dozens of attendees attended each of the presentations in the theater, as well as field trips into the Alabama Hills. Many of those attending came from outside of the area.

"The purpose of this new annual event is to celebrate this incredibly scenic landscape and educate the public about the wide variety of groups that use and enjoy with the Alabamas," said Chris Langley, stewardship group chair. The Alabama Hills includes almost 30,000 acres west of Lone Pine managed by the Bureau of Land Management's Bishop Field Office.

The 2nd annual Alabama Hills Day has been scheduled for Saturday, April 13, 2013 - mark your calendars!
