While filming "The Comancheros" in 1961, John Wayne described Moab as the place where "God put the West." Dramatic scenery has made the landscape around Arches National Park and Moab, Utah, a popular location for Hollywood movies. More than twenty motion pictures have been filmed here, including Wagonmaster, Ten Who Dared, Cheyenne Autumn, Against a Crooked Sky, Rio Conches, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Thelma and Louise, and The Hulk.
Thousands of hours of footage for television shows and commercials and countless advertising stills have used Arches National Park as a backdrop. Modern film makers and commercial photographers must obtain a permit and observe stringent regulations to protect both the park environment and visitor experience. The fees they pay help cover the expenses of supervising their activities. |
