The scenes where the spaceship crash-lands in the lake were filmed at Lake Powell, which is formed by a dam on the Colorado River on the Utah-Arizona border. The final shooting script for the movie pinpoints some of the locations that had been selected for specific scenes; the crash site was to be filmed in Lake Powell at Lone Rock; the astronauts trek was to take place on 'ochre dunes', 'black dunes', 'gray area', 'crazy canyon' and 'wire grass canyon'.

Creative Makeup Designer John Chambers noted the problems faced by the ape actors in the seering heat of the first Apes location shoot: "[Applying the makeup] wasn't uncomfortable, after they got used to it the first time, and they didn't perspire! We were up with 120* in Arizona, but there was no trouble - it was amazing! We did keep them cool, we had special refridgerated trailers for them, and we had sixty-foot makeup trailers. No one ever did this before. This is what kept them under control. We never lost one minute of production time due to makeup faults or slowdowns. I have never worked with such professional attitudes - no complaining or anything with any of the actors in any of the films. It was a challenge to them, and everyone loved it." Nevertheless, on the first day of filming, shooting the desert trek in Page, Arizona, (May 21, 1967) Charlton Heston noted that "The heat is bad here. One of the other two actors playing astronauts (Jeff Burton) passed out from the heat."
