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

Forrest Gump

The iconic “run forest run!” scene (not the one at the beginning, the one towards the middle of the movie) was shot almost exclusively on US Rt. 163, which runs from the end of Colorado to the end of Utah. This road was chosen because it historically has the most beautiful scenic views on the western side of America (no offense to Rt. 66). Could you imagine spending 3 years running up and down the same stretch of highway and enjoying the beautiful views? There are definitely worse ways to spend your time.
