Dinosaurs of the Alabama Hills


These massive rocks and weathered boulders of the Alabama Hills near Lone Pine, California, remind me of a herd of Stegosaurus dinosaurs (even though the Stegosaurus lived approximately 150 million years ago, well before the Alabama Hills granite formed). Their rounded backs and jagged, upright formations resemble the distinctive plates of these prehistoric creatures. With a little imagination, it’s easy to picture giant dinosaurs wandering through this ancient-looking landscape.
