"Legendary Movie Location"

Mescal flyer

The Mojave Muleskinners walked the same streets as Lee Marvin, Paul Newman, Jack Palance, Frank Sinatra, Danny Glover, Kurt Russell, Russel Crowe and Sharon Stone, to name a few! Mescal, the legendary movie location where Outlaw Josey Wales, Maverick (remake), Buffalo Soldiers, Tombstone, the Quick and the Dead and many other Westerns were filmed. Normally a closed set, Mescal just recently opened to the public. Mescal offers a complete western town with 44 western buildings which include a bank, sheriff's office, ranch houses, farm house, jail, two saloons, corrals, two-story hotel, and an 1860s fort. The 60-acre location sets in a high-desert plain easily representing terrains throughout the American west. Sweeping vistas and majestic mountains can be seen (or not) in the distance. Property is surrounded by open-range owned by the state of Arizona. Guided photo tours are available Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays. Every hour on the hour between 10am - 2pm. $8 admission. Head East on I-10 to exit #297. Head North on Mescal road for 3 miles. Turn left where the pavement ends. Head West 1/2 mile on dirt road to the town of Mescal.
