Welcome to Yosemite and our spoiler-free guide to all the filming locations of Untamed. Below, you'll find them listed in order of their first appearance.
The Untamed Yosemite Park
The accident occurs at El Capitan, a towering granite monolith that rises over 3,000 feet (900 meters), a world-renowned destination for rock climbers.
However, the showrunners used a similar mountain in Squamish, British Columbia, Stawamus Chief, about 2,300 feet (700 meters) tall—for all the close-up shots.

Kyle Turner's cabin is Mel's house from Virgin River!
Although, like in the Netflix hit series, it appears to be deep in the wilderness, the cabin is actually located in a densely populated area within Murdo Frazer Park in North Vancouver.
The park, which spans five acres of wooded trails and includes a small pond, has been used as a filming location for several movies and TV shows.

The horseback riding scene with Kyle and Naya in the trailer and episode 2 was filmed at Morris Lake, British Columbia. The background mountain was CGI.
