Introducing the Utah Film Trail

Utah has been a destination for filmmaking for over 100 years, with its diverse landscapes playing a starring role in some of Hollywood’s most iconic productions. Now, the Utah Film Trail created by the Utah Film Commission in partnership with the Utah Office of Tourism invites film enthusiasts to experience these iconic landscapes firsthand, with physical markers scattered throughout the state paying homage to the films or television shows produced at that real-world location.

“Utah is known as America’s Film Set for a reason,” commented Virginia Pearce, Utah Film Commission Director. “Our iconic landscapes are famous for making movie magic. Now, the Utah Film Trail will take you off the beaten path to discover the settings of made-in-Utah films and television shows you’ve fallen in love with.”

The Utah Film Trail will bring visitors to the hideout of “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” onto the set of the infamous car scene in “Thelma & Louise,” and back to the nostalgia of 1962 featured in “The Sandlot.” A full list of markers on the Utah Film Trail can be found here.

“Visitors have been drawn to Utah’s image in film and television for over a century and the economic impact is significant. Film tourism has contributed $6 billion to the state’s economy over the past decade,” said Natalie Randall, managing director of the Utah Office of Tourism & Film. “The Utah Film Trail allows visitors to experience Utah through a different lens.”

The Utah Office of Tourism fulfills its mission to improve the quality of life for Utah residents through revenue and tax relief by attracting quality, well-prepared domestic and international visitation and motivating tourism spending within a sustainable tourism economy.
