Eagle's Head Arch can only be viewed
from certain angles. Only steps from the
Gunga Din Historical Monument, but is
hidden in the rock formation. Walk a
short distance southeast and you should
find it. The trail winds up and around the
back of the arch.

In 1938, this hill area, among many others in
the Alabama Hills, served as a stand-in for the
hill country of Northern India when RKO made
the classic adventure film,'Gunga Din'. Directed
by George Stevens, the epic starred Cary Grant,
Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Victor McLaglen and Joan
Fontaine with Sam Jaffe as Gunga Din, the
waterboy who wanted so much to be a soldier.
Over 300 films and numerous commercials
have been shot on location in the Alabama
Hills.
