You Can Visit These Scenic Film Locations And Relive Your Favorite Movie Moments

Into the Wild

Into the Wild was actually a retelling of Christopher McCandless’s experience being stranded in the Alaskan wilderness. The set designers perfectly recreated the abandoned bus he slept in, going off of the actual relic that still exists just 50 miles south of where the movie was shot. Reaching the real bus is a hiking challenge now, posing a daunting 20-mile trek through difficult terrain. Those who reach it are considered to be top-notch hikers.
