Sites identified by primary location sources.

These film-specific property references are sourced separately from itinerary recommendations. Precise points and current access remain under review.

  • Red Rock Canyon State Park — California historical filming area · the named physical California park credited specifically for The Mummy1932 in the cooperating park association’s filming-history record. The same park Place is reused across franchises. This is a bounded park-area association, not a particular canyon, rock face, dig site, visitor center, camera or current visitor route; Nevada’s similarly named conservation area and later Mummy films are not inferred.
