Sustainable Tourism in Action

A woman in a blue jacket holds a small brown dog, standing beside a wall with informational plaques. The plaques read: "WILD 2014 Reese Witherspoon played Oregon author Cheryl Strayed in the memoir adaptation and Pacific Crest Trail filming scenes here also doubled for the Sierra Nevada. Wild contained more Oregon film sites than any prior Oscar-nominated film. Oregon film history: Gus Van Sant directed Uma Thurman in Even Cowgirls Get The Blues (1994), adapted from the novel by Tom Robbins." "DID YOU KNOW? Central Oregon and Smith Rock have long been a draw for Hollywood filmmakers. In fact, Oregon’s first two movies were made in the High Desert. Filmed in the mountaintains, in and near Klamath proto-western The Indian Tomb (1914), and in the high desert, Florence Turner’s movie, Love’s Folly (fall 1914). More recently: Rooster Cogburn (1975), Fire in the Sky (1993), and Swordfish (2001)."
