Advice about this photo location

Travel Information

Mobius Arch is located on Movie Flat Road in the heart of the Alabama Hills. From Lone Pine, you would proceed West on the Whitney Portal Road, then turn right onto Movie Flat Road and continue on it until you see a small turn out right where the road T’s into two different routes. There are no signs on the road that will tell you where you are, so you have to know before you make the drive. Get directions in this post or stop by the Museum in town, and they will give you a map of how to get there. When you reach the turnout, park, and you should see a small, easy to miss trailhead sign to the west that you can follow for the half-mile to the arch.

The arch itself will come into view as you pass the smaller, and easy to see from the trail Lathe Arch. From there, you will round a big rock and be greeted by Mobius Arch. Even seeing the arch from this angle is a beautiful view, but if you proceed around to the other side, you can perfectly frame Mt Whitney in the center of the Arch window.
