Step into Bonanza’s wild west in California

Imagine hiking the same trails and soaking in the mountain views where the Cartwrights once rode for Bonanza! Several of the show’s iconic filming spots are still open to visitors. Lake Hemet and Idyllwild offer those classic pine-filled backdrops, while Wildwood Regional Park in Thousand Oaks lets you walk the same hills seen on TV. Even though the Ponderosa Ranch theme park at Lake Tahoe closed, the breathtaking scenery remains. Cedar Lake near Big Bear still has that old Western vibe, though the original Virginia City set is long gone. Which of these legendary spots would you want to explore first? #Travel #Bonanza #WildWest
