Bronson Canyon Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Bronson Canyon is a location in
Griffith Park,
California that has become famous as the setting for an astounding number of
movies and
TV shows filmed throughout the
20th and
21st centuries. Its picturesque setting and remote (but easily accessible) location has made it a prime choice for filmmakers who want to place their stories in a "wilderness" setting.
Originally named Brush Canyon, the famous hill and cave setting is on the western side of Griffith Park. In 1903, the Union Rock Company founded a quarry for excavation of crushed rock, used in the construction of city streets. The quarry ceased operation in the late 1920s, leaving the caves behind. The caves, known as the Bronson Caves, gave the area its more popular name of Bronson Canyon.
