Tejon Ranch – Hollywood’s Largest Back Lot in Southern California
Film around the world… without leaving Southern California!
The dramatic landscapes of Tejon Ranch have attracted hundreds of filming projects, as the ranch provides a variety of backdrops that are reminiscent of distant locations ranging from Tuscany to Africa.
Less than an hour north of Los Angeles, the 270,000-acre ranch offers a range of scenic locations, including rolling hills, rugged mountains, sweeping valleys, grassy plains, oak and conifer forests, orchards, vineyards, lakes, streams, high deserts and cattle country with corrals.
