Lone Pine Movie Museum- Hollywood hangs out here!

These are the Alabama hills.  They are part of the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mts. and are located a short way west of and behind the small town of Lone Pine, California along highway 395.  Approx. 600 movies have been filmed here.

Belongings of Bryan's favorite cowboy star Randolph Scott.

Does this place looked familiar? It should.  Some of the movies and TV made here?  Star Wars, Iron Man, Star Trek, Around the World in 80 Days, Chaplin, Django Unchained, Gladiator, How the West Was Won, Lone Ranger, Hopalong Cassidy and Lost Horizon....there are too many to list.

Incredible to see two costumes worn by John Wayne.  On the right is from the movie THE SHOOTIST.  Fake blood can be seen on his left chest area.

Boots that were worn by Randolph Scott.

Costume and props from Iron Man. This is what Robert Downy Jr. wore in the opening scene.

The museum in Lone Pine has so many interesting things. Who knows what famous butts sat here?!

There is a large Lone Ranger collection.

Kids today probably don't know ol' Hopalong!! There is a huge Hopalong collection among others like Tom Mix, Gene Autry and Roy Rodgers and Dale Evans.

Humphrey Bogart drove this car around back in the hills.  Sorry but I have forgotten the name of the movie.

Russell Crowe wore this outfit in THE GLADIATOR

From the movie THE BORDER LEGION

Mt Whitney is in the center of the posts, on the far left is Lone Pine Peak. This is as close as we got to the hills.

I really had to talk Bryan into stopping here.  Do you know guys that focus on driving from point A to point B with determination and grit?  Even when you are retired and have no real calendar?  We had a great time exploring the area.  Sure makes life more fun and interesting (and being right about stopping never gets old).  Next stop: DEATH VALLEY
