CHATSWORTH — FILMING LOCATION FEATURES -- aka ROCK STARS


It’s now been more than one hundred years since Hollywood film makers were first attracted to the Santa Susana Pass by the extraordinary sandstone rock formations that exist here.


I call these unique landscape features Rock Stars. The following links are a visual tour of them.
