We had the tremendous fortune to be granted the opportunity to shoot all of our exterior sequences on the Grande Staircase-Escalante National Monument. In September of 1996, President Clinton designated this to be first monument administered by the Bureau of Land Management, rather than the National Park Service. There hasn’t been a film crew permitted to shoot on these lands for decades and now we were granted full access.

Even after the first two scouting trips, I frequented the property as often a I could, trying to discover it’s most filmic of areas. I would never be able to cover the entire grounds, or even a fraction at that, because the national monument spans over 1.7 million acres of southern Utah.
