Each Friday, I’ll be briefly profiling a specific location somewhere in the world that has been featured in a movie or TV show.

This week, the site is Ka’a'awa Valley on Oahu, Hawaii.

This valley, owned by Kualoa Ranch, is perhaps one of the most-filmed locations in all of Hawaii. This particular valley has been featured in dozens of movies and TV shows, from “50 First Dates” to “Pearl Harbor” to “LOST.”

Today, though, I’ll be highlighting one of my favorite movies to take advantage of Ka’a'awa’s dramatic lanscapes: “Jurassic Park.” The scene where a herd of Gallimimus dinosaurs cause the main characters to flee for their lives was filmed here. In the movie, they duck behind a large log, and from there watch a T-Rex devour a bounding Gallimimus.

It’s a fairly recognizable spot. But in case you aren’t familiar with “Jurassic Park,” the ranch has a sign up to remind you. And yes, that’s the same log you see in the movie!

The valley.

While traversing through this valley, it’s completely possible to imagine that dinosaurs could still be calling the area home.
