Despite frequent invasions of Hollywood film crews, Franklin Canyon on most days offers hikers, bird-watchers and nature lovers a tranquil retreat. The canyon is protected by Franklin Canyon Ranch, a National Park Service preserve perched atop the hills above Beverly Hills. It’s appeared in your living room a hundred times, but you probably don’t know its name. The many faces of Franklin Canyon can be seen almost daily on television. Moviemakers have found the canyon to be a convincing substitute for a wide variety of locales ranging from High Sierra forest to jungle lagoon. “Bonanza,” “Andy of Mayberry,” and countless other television shows have used the canyon as a stage.
