A few notes

The film’s cattle-drive look came from real Southwest landscapes rather than a single studio backlot, which is why the scenery feels so varied. Some location guides also point to specific outdoor scenes in Utah , especially around Fisher Towers for filming-related landscape backdrops, though the core verified filming locations are the New Mexico and Colorado sites.

If you want, I can also give you a scene-by-scene list of where each part was shot.
