LOOK: Free to Visit Famous Movie Location in Utah

You know you want to do something more than stare at your phone inside all weekend. Grab your beard and a baseball hat and head for Mexican Hat, Utah where you can recreate Forrest Gump’s iconic scene running across the country.

All It Will Cost You is Some Gas and Some Screen Time

In the movie “Forrest Gump” there is a point where Tom Hank’s character is running across the country. He is at a desolate desert location with an incredibly long, straight highway. He is jogging with a group of devotees following about a hundred feet behind.

Forrest Gump Point is in Utah and marked on Google.

He slows down and finally stops. He says he is tired and that he is heading home to Alabama. This location is in Monument Valley in the southern part of Utah. There is even a sign by the highway marking the exact spot.

As a resident of the beehive state, it is time you made a trek to this location to record your own version with you as the star. Share it will all your friends on social media and give yourself a weekend memory.

Not the Only Movie Filmed in this Part of Utah

While you are in Monument Valley, head across the state line and see where Marty McFly went to the old west in “Back to the Future III”. Then head to Kanab to the Little Hollywood Movie Museum where you can see the DeLorean signed by Christopher Lloyd.
