The Field Atlas
0/363Hills chapter · 36.60° N · 118.11° W
A jumble of rounded granite stacked against the Sierra wall. Arches, alleys, and Movie Flat at the foot of Whitney.
The rocks are weathered into potatoes and temples. Whitney is a white wall behind them. Westerns were shot here because the land already looked like a set. At dusk the granite goes gold and the Sierra goes blue.
