where is that big rock?


where did they film the scene when they are pulling the horses through the mud and there is that big rock in the backgroud on the mountain? I'd like to go there and see it.

That would be Chimney Rock & Courthouse Mountain as seen from the west side of Owl Creek Pass in Ouray County, Colorado. The final gunfight scene in 1969's True Grit was also filmed there. For How the West Was Won, many of the exterior scenes of the "Wagon Train" sequence were filmed near there too, in and near Ridgeway and also, I believe, in the Gunnison Valley where the river crossing was staged. The indian attack portion was filmed in California in the Alabama Hills section of the Owens Valley.

I'd like to know where the high country scene was filmed where Zeb rides up to visit Jethro the mountain man.

Lone Pine

There's still some boards left over from Henry Fonda's cabin on Lone Pine Creek just up from the campground. The spot is overgrown.
