Classic Rock of the Iverson Movie Ranch: The Wizard


The Wizard sits prominently atop the southeast corner of the Garden of the Gods, overlooking Iverson Gorge and the Santa Susana Pass. This rock can be spotted in a number of movies, but always as a tiny speck in the background. I think the Wizard is ready for his closeup. Mr. DeMille?

Here's a detail of the Wizard's face. It's not the best photo, but he's hard to shoot. In person, in the right light, he's spectacular.
This post is part of a series on "Classic Rocks" — sandstone giants located on the former Iverson Movie Ranch in Chatsworth, Calif., that became a part of not only America's physical landscape but also its cultural heritage, through featured roles in old movies, cliffhanger serials and early TV shows. Other entries in the series can be seen by clicking here.
