“Fort Dobbs” (1958) was filmed primarily on location in Utah and northern Arizona.

Most of the outdoor scenes were shot around:

  • Duck Creek and Aspen Mirror Lake, Utah.
  • Paria and Kanab/ Kanab Canyon, Utah (a classic Western movie area).
  • Cave Lakes Canyon and Mat Martin Wash, Utah.
  • Professor Valley and along the Colorado River near Moab, Utah.
  • Fredonia and Colorado City, Arizona (just south of the Utah border).

So if you’re picturing the landscapes in the movie, you’re basically looking at red-rock country and forested highlands in Utah, with a bit of Arizona canyon country mixed in.
