COLORADO Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade In the opening scenes of “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” a young Indy (played by River Phoenix) tussles with bad guys and escapes to a beige stucco house with green trim and a mailbox that reads, “Jones,” where his father (Sean Connery) sits inside reading. Today, the Antonito house looks identical to the way it appeared in the film. It’s now the Indiana Jones Bed & Breakfast , filled with Indiana Jones memorabilia. The B&B is a short walk from the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad , where many of the train scenes took place. From late May to mid-October, you can shoot your own adventure scenes as the train traverses stunning wilderness areas. Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad How the West Was Won, The Cowboys, The Searchers, Cat Ballou, The Naked Spur & More The Centennial State screams Old West vibes, which makes sense as to why more than a handful of the most famous Westerns have been filmed here. Feel like you’re James Stewart, Henry Fonda or Gregory Peck at one of the many dude ranches that call Colorado home. At some, you can get down and dirty with farm chores — like moving cattle and mending fences. At others, you can snack on bottomless cookies, raft through whitewater rapids and horseback ride across wide-open spaces. They all offer landscapes that look the same as they did in the 1800s, with rustic Western beauty. FROM TOP: KERRICK JAMES; LAURIE REED Find more filming locations on Colorado.com Aspen COLORADO .
