The place

Former filming ranch used for Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie, and The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. The outdoor sets built for Back to the Future Part III, reused in Bad Girls (1994), burned down on August 10, 1996, in a brush fire ignited by lightning; the site no longer accommodates film shoots. The land falls under a BLM designated Area of Critical Environmental Concern, open to the public; Ed Moyle's landing strip remains private property.
