Go just a little further still to the Placerita Canyon Nature Center, on the right side of the road, for there's a trail up to the edge of the ranch where you can visit the tree the ranch was named after (keep reading for more information on the story behind the name.) However, if you pass by the entrance, you can get a nice view of the town built for 'Roots II' and some of the more modern sets added on recent years. It will be about 2 miles ahead on the left.Ī word to the wise: stay out of the ranch! It is private property and the rule is strictly enforced. Exit and turn right, then start looking for the entrance to the ranch. Just one or two exits later is Placerita Canyon Road. To reach the ranch, you head north out of Los Angeles on Interstate 5, then continue onto Route 14. The ranch is located on Placerita Canyon Road in Newhall, California, which is about a one-hour drive from the heart of Los Angeles. I started working for Disney in 1976, and much to my surprise, one of my first projects was at Disney's Golden Oak Ranch, which was the real-life site used for the Triple R. Ever watch the 'Spin and Marty' serials on 'The Mickey Mouse Club' and wish you could visit the Triple R Ranch? Well, that was one of my childhood goals, but little did I dream while growing up in Brooklyn that one day I would actually find it.
