This movie was shot at the Andy Jauregui Ranch, which is now part of the Disney Corporation and is located in the Placerita Canyon. I found this information from the Gabby Hayes' website, which also has photos of the area posted.

I am not quite sure why but I loved Gabby when I was a kid. If think about it may be because Gabby would have been a terrific Uncle or Grandfather for a onely little kid.
Hoo-rah for Movies in the Santa Clarita Valley.
Makes me want to saddle up and ride for days.
I enjoy these old flicks.
I adored Gabby when I was a kid, too. What was it about him?
At the risk of being pedantic, I'd just like to clarify something: although most of the exteriors for RIDERS OF DESTINY were indeed filmed in the Santa Clarita Valley on or around the Juaregui ranch, the scene of John Wayne singing on horseback was actually filmed in the Palmdale/Lancaster area, which is in Antelope Valley at the western tip of the Mojave Desert.
God, I'm such a locations geek....
Wow, it seems like Gabby hit a nerve here. More than John Wayne. Gives me something to write about.
Ed, I don't think that's nerdy at all. In fact I appreciate the correction and I find all this fascinating too. If I didn't I wouldn't be writing about it. If that makes me a nerd too, so be it.
