Movie Set Travel: Transformers
Autobots, Decepticons, Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, and Megan Fox--sounds like a sure fire formula for a 2007 summer blockbuster does it not? Well, Michael Bay directed, and you all know what that means. In any event, the movie centers around a battle for earth, as the Decepticons attack a United States Military base in Qatar and a myriad of other locations. Of course, the Nevada desert serves as a body double for the Middle East. Here are some other travel options based on Transformers filming locations:
Where To Stay:
Boulder Dam Hotel
Megatron and the gang shot in and around the Hoover Dam. This hotel, in Boulder City, houses an old museum about the construction of the Hoover Dam.
Where To Hike:
Valley of Fire State Park
Route 169, Overton, Nevada
This park, located only six miles from Lake Mead, is in the midst of some construction this summer as campsites are being added to the Atlatl Rock area. Who knows, the construction may give this red sandstone Mojave park a more robotic feel.
Where To Feel War Like:
White Sands Missile Range
Tours are offered by the public affairs office. Missile firings are not scheduled for tours. However, tours sometimes coincide with firings which we are allowed to take visitors to. Even then, the group may not see the firings as the mission schedule is subject to change without notice. For more information call 505.678.1134.
