Why Thelma & Louise Drove Viewers Off the Edge

Where Was Thelma & Louise Filmed?

The movie’s plot centers around the two fugitives’ journey from Arkansas through Oklahoma and Colorado to Arizona, but the film was shot entirely in California and Utah. The motel featured in the film (where the girls met Brad) was shot in Downtown L.A. at the Vagabond Inn.

The Grand Canyon scenes were taken south of Dead Horse Point State Park in Utah. Other scenes were filmed at Shafer Overlook (Moab, UT), Monument Valley (Arizona\Utah), La Sal Mountains (Moab, UT), Cisco (Grand County, UT), and Arches National Park (UT).
