Exploring Iconic Movie Locations in the Pacific Northwest

Both big studio filmmakers and independent directors have long been drawn to the stunning landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. For those of us who call this region home, it’s easy to see why. The lush forests, rugged coastlines, and towering mountains create the perfect setting—not just for movies, but also for our RV adventures. It’s no surprise that some of the most iconic films have been shot in this breathtaking bioregion.

Whether you’re a film buff or just looking for unique destinations to add to your travel plans, visiting these legendary locations can add a cinematic touch to your next RV road trip.

Joining us on RV Out West is longtime film critic and historian, Robert Horton. Robert has spent his entire career exploring the magic of cinema. Today, he shares insights on some of the most famous filming locations in the Pacific Northwest, from classic Hollywood films to cult favorites. You can find his writing which also includes his film reviews over on The Crop Duster.
