Lovejoy Buttes
Lake Los Angeles, California
Lovejoy Buttes is adjacent to Lake Los Angeles. The nearest town is the desert community of Palmdale. Numerous movies and TV series have been filmed at the region over the years. The butte is situated 3,000 feet above the desert floor and offers breathtaking views of the Antelope Valley and Mojave Desert. The San Gabriel and San Bernadino Mountains can be seen from the southern and western views atop the butte.
The northern and eastern views offer glimpses of the Tehachapi Mountains. The nearest peak that can be seen is Soledad Mountain, which rises above the sleepy desert town of Mojave. Filmed segments of episodes such as "Gallagher's Sons", "Twilight Town", "Big Shadow on the Land", "The Oath", "Second Chance", "The Conquistadores" and "Meena" took place at Lovejoy Buttes.
