Primary Filming Locations
The 1998 film was shot primarily in southwestern Montana. Key scenes were filmed in the Bitterroot Valley and along the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, chosen for their open ranches and mountain landscapes.
New York and Studio Work
Additional scenes were filmed in New York state, including areas around the Hudson Valley. Interior and controlled scenes were completed on soundstages and private ranch properties outside Montana.
