High Desert Junkyard – Rusted Tools, Tires, and Metal Chaos The Junkyard is a gritty, sun-bleached graveyard of old machinery, building materials, tangled fencing, and industrial debris, all set against the dramatic backdrop of California's high desert terrain. This offbeat, rugged environment is perfect for post-apocalyptic scenes, grunge editorials, music videos, and any production seeking raw, uncompromising cinematic texture. Scattered across the property are rusted metal sheets, decommissioned equipment, pallets, old car parts, dilapidated furniture, wire fencing, and weathered industrial objects — all authentic, all un-staged. Located on a private 12-acre ranch in Lonesome Valley — within easy reach of LA and inside the Secondary Studio Zone.
