Thanks for this list! I just saw this film today, and wondered where the colder mountains were. I stayed for the credits, and only saw India listed. Still don't know what was done there.
I believe that some of the aerial shots were actually in Northern California around Lake Oroville and the Feather River Canyon.
I agree. I was thinking of these locations: Bucks Lake, Little Grass Valley Reservoir, New Bullards Bar, Lake Almanor, etc. I could swear I saw features of LGV in some of the sequences
You missed the location for Penny’s house. That’s in San Pedro.
I noticed that home looked familiar. It looks like they were driving on Paseo Del
Mar.
