“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.
