Alabama Hills Horseback Rides

In all seasons the Alabama Hills offer captivating scenery. From fall movie history, winter's sweeping vistas and snow capped Sierra backdrops to spring wildflower shows - you can see it all riding Horseback through the Hills.

The Alabama Hills offer plenty of fascinating movie history that is best seen the same way your cowboy heroes saw it, by horseback! Ride where Gene, Hoppy, Roy and the Lone Ranger chased the bad guys through the rocks. See where John Wayne made his last film appearance, where 'How the West Was Won' captured the grand landscapes of the west or where Hopalong Cassidy hid from a band of renegades!

Enjoy the movie history backed by stunning Sierra views and incredible rock formations that inspire and intrigue. Guides share their knowledge of the area such as , knowledge of wildflowers, movie locations, local legends or history!

Our livestock is well cared for, pleasant and safe. We provide the guide and horses.  Also, for those who request, we provide one our locally famous surefooted mules, known for their unique personalities, hardiness, and smooth travel.

We have been offering trail rides and filming support in the Alabama Hills as well as much of the Eastern Sierra for over 35 years. Additionally we offer horseback and wagon rides at the Annual Lone Pine Film Festival held in October. Trail rides offered October - early May.
