When Paramount Pictures purchased the ranch in 1927, they began an era of film production that has continued into the 21st century. You can experience the area where Bob Hope starred in Caught in the Draft (1941) to Sandra Bullock in The Lake House (2006). In the 1950’s, the western town was created for television shows, such as The Cisco Kid and Hotel de Paree. More recent filming at Paramount Ranch has included Westworld, an HBO production, TV shows Bones, Castle, Scorpion and Escape the Night, a YouTube Internet series.
Paramount Ranch offers several miles of easy to moderate scenic hikes through chaparral, riparian, and valley oak savannah plant communities. Equestrians and mountain bikers may access these multi-use trails. Wildlife sightings might include red-tailed hawks, acorn woodpeckers, blue heron and deer.
Stroll through Western Town and enjoy a shaded picnic area. This real-life motion picture set is altered slightly with each production, yet retains a Western motif.
