[@jyo8914]

#14!!! Did a 4x4 wheelin' trip in Death Valley in 2023 and ended up in Lone Pine. The Alabama Hills Cafe was absolutely awesome! Definitely on my GO-TO list for next year.

[@jenniferfeiock8490]

Thank you my home sweet home. I cli.bed Whitney in 1966 when I was 17. So beautiful up there. Didn't need a permit back then . Very nice video. And there is even so much more to see there. Tuttle Creek,and Lubken Road. Hope to see more. Thanks again.

[@samgoeshiking]

Thank you for this. I was born in Lone Pine. It nice to see folks enjoying my wee town.

[@timbofergman2942]

Thorough and spot on, went there a few years ago and realized months later that I just 'skimmed' the surface of the Lone Pine arena, which was a good thing, cause now I got to go back! Thank you for highlighting my misses.

[@seantai9371]

Great videos. Really enjoy the commentary and well researched recommendations. Love Alabama Hills Cafe.

[@johneason6540]

I absolutely love lone pine! Loved your tour, been to 12 of the 14. But you have my interest to see the remaining 2. Also Alabama Cafe is fantastic, never miss a chance to eat there if they are open. Thanks

[@Active_Tours]

Which two are you missing? Hope you get to explore them too

[@gailmiller7035]

i was there in April 2021 and loved it. Hope to return again next Spring.

[@Earthman24111]

Independence has a fantastic local history museum with one of the best native american basket collections anywhere.

[@annamarieboninfante9969]

Great Video; I found it very helpful. Thank you!

[@bigjj974]

I have been going to the eastern Sierra for over 20 years and I can say this video is a very well done and is a great representation of the attractions around Lone Pie. Great Job!

[@Active_Tours]

Thanks for your kind words

[@agm6095]

Thanks for this video. I have a problem when adults climb and walk across the arches, your weight could break the arches, not only do you ruin it for others to see but you could get hurt if the arch breaks.

[@Active_Tours]

@A GM great point thanks for sharing it with us. I’ll think twice about it next time 🙏

[@agm6095]

Thank you for considering my suggestion.

[@Turfscaper]

@@agm6095 break***** you were pounding that keyboard so hard your grammar when out the window. ehh bud?

[@MaruneHD]

@A GM Karen on the loose, have fun stop taking life so seriously

[@terrygraham1226]

Very good video for both narrative and video. During the 1950s, I spent a lot of time as my dad's shadow in adjoining Inyo and Esmeralda counties while he prospected for uranium. I have memories of some of your locations. Thanks for the journey to the past!!!

[@speedspeed121]

The Eastern Sierras is probably the most beautiful place in the state.

[@Active_Tours]

It’s one of my happy places for sure. Where else do you like?

[@pauline3735]

Been going to Lone Pine for decades ~ yet didn’t know some of these. Thank you! Great video 👍🏼👏🏼

[@Active_Tours]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you get to explore the rest of lone pine soon

[@muitosabao]

i'm here because i flew over Lone Pine in MS Flight Simulator (one of the bush trips) and wondered what was down there. Wonderful, thanks for the tour.

[@seh211]

You missed the petroglyphs in Alabama Hills! You must go back! 😁 Nice video!

[@janetmario]

What a GREAT video!! Good job! Thanks!

[@Active_Tours]

Thanks 🙏

[@spiritlove3351]

Beautiful

[@sluggotinfantryman]

If you do Lone Pine Lake go past it up to ridge overlooking outpost camp. Go along ridge to left. It overlooks camp and is epic view of whole trail.

[@andyxfish]

Can’t wait to go back.

[@Skyclub12]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Active_Tours]

[@ZitherBeast]

Gunga Din. the blown up bridge.... Nice video. 'Great place

[@Active_Tours]

Thanks for watching

[@skysurfer5cva]

Another iconic arch in the Alabama Hills is Boot Arch, which is only about 1/4 miles NNE of Cyclops Arch. I've done night photography at Boot, but I haven't visited Cyclops yet.

[@johnmarzy]

Thank You. Now do a top 5 campsites within the same area(s)

[@kuvaszvizsla9521]

Don't forget Bad Day at Black Rock (1955) which was shot in Lone Pine.

[@familypokornyFit]

Loved this video. I lived out there for a couple of months in late 2017. Wish I saw it then. Never knew so much to do. Yeah Alabama Hills Cafe. One of my go 2 spots. Not like there's much but loved this lil town. There's was a Mexican spot a Chinese spot. Hiking and fishing and lots of work. Great Experience

[@Active_Tours]

Cool! What’s the name of the other restaurants?

[@familypokornyFit]

@@Active_Tours i forget its been so long. I think Bonanza was the Mexican spot. I liked that place too. There was a old time like malt shop at the end of town. Never got to try it. We went there once my buddy got it. Looked good. I think he got a chili dog. Then they closed for winter. Our boss would buy us dinner everynight. There was only a couple restaurants to choose from. A McDonald's and a Carl's jr too. Good old Lone Pone. It was quite the experience. I had fun.

[@familypokornyFit]

@@Active_Tours merry-go-round was the Chinese Restaurant.

[@Active_Tours]

If you liked my 📹 🙏🙏🙏 support my channel!!!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Nice list! We loved camping at The Alabama Hills- definitely lots to do and see in this area. Lone Pine Lake looks gorgeous! I agree with you on Manzanar - very humbling. They did a fantastic job on the visitor center.

[@Active_Tours]

@Travel Small Live Big 🙏 for the nice words. Where is your favorite place in CA to park trailer? You have a great channel. Thanks for your support.

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Active Tours thank you! That’s a hard question to answer! We love so many places. How about “anywhere but home”? Butano State Park, Tinnemaha, Frenchman Lake, Railroad Park, Jalama, New Melones Lake, any Harvest Hosts - love them all!

[@Active_Tours]

I’ll add them to my list!

[@MrTodddavis]

Many other places and things to see, Delacour Lavender Ranch, Horseshoe Meadows.....

[@sluggotinfantryman]

If you want to go high. Cottonwood Lake 10200 feet at parking lot. Onion Valley 9200. 100 miles out White Mountain 12800 at gate.

[@JohnPaul-ts8dq]

Great information, but do not walk on the arches. ☹️

[@Active_Tours]

Thanks so much for the tip. I'll think twice next time

[@itsdonjit5592]

Your telling me the MCU started at Lone Pine, It would make since since they were shooting in LA & Malibu

[@anniemchong]

Do you need a 4X4 for these places? Thanks!

[@Active_Tours]

I drove a Prius to everything in the video but there are some places I didn’t go due to not having a 4x4

[@dezsnickyw0581]

What happen to Dirty Socks pond?

[@Active_Tours]

What’s that?

[@familypokornyFit]

Not sure. I do construction. We worked out there right past Olancha. That jobsite was called dirty sox cause of that pond.

[@WildBoy189]

This is where Disney's Film Dinosaur was filmed

[@1974germanicus]

Do Trona Pinnacles.

[@Active_Tours]

Cool! I’ll stop by on my next trip up the 395

[@underavenue]

don't climb on the arches.

[@Panx0green]

I live there

[@henryhume2485]

Sick video! Love the adventernous of it. If anyone is into similar outdoor adventures you should check out a couple of my recent videos too!

[@WJ4x4OR]

People need to stop walking on the arch, it is getting weak as it ages. Please respect the land

[@ken1769]

Nice and please visit the arches in Newfoundland canada ..on way to the great northern peninsula on the west coast of that province " Newfoundland " ..or go to utube and type in " iceberg ally twillingate " ...this is where I live ...iceberg capital of the world ...you all take care and get safe .

[@andysolorzano4126]

Very late to this video but have to agree with comment below. "Tread Lightly" is a term, along with "Pack in and Pack Out," are commonly used by off roaders and adventure seekers. Your disregard for the fragility of the arches is concerning. It should not be done or shared with others as something "to do" in Alabama Hills.

[@freespirit7692]

Very bad example. Don't climb on arches! They are fragile and the more people do this the faster they are going to collapse.

[@Active_Tours]

Thanks so much for the tip. I'll think twice next time

[@leechoon6306]

SL You should know better not to climb up the arches. Shame on you & your friend.
