The .6 mile Mobius Arch Loop Trail in the Alabama Hills of the Eastern Sierra Nevadas in California is a fun and easy hike down Movie Road just off the Whitney Portal Road. The trail takes you through desert vegetation such as the desert needle grass & barrel cactus.

The entire hike features amazing views of the Sierra Nevadas & Inyo Mountains. You'll pass smaller windows which frame the beautiful landscape and one is even shaped like a heart!

Mobius Arch itself spans about 6.5 feet and was formed from Volcanic activity 80-200 million years ago. If you get the angle just right, you can perfectly frame Mt. Whitney and the Sierra Nevadas. I also suggest climbing the rocks and enjoying the 360° views of the high desert.

And be on the lookout for wildlife! My wife and I saw a huge black Chuckwalla Lizard getting some sun.

From the hike you can also see the Corridors, the boulder fields, & so much more. Make sure you’ve got lots of water because it can get quite hot. And if you can, hit up the Hills at sunrise when the sun hits the rocks and the mountains just right after rising from behind the Inyo Mountains.
