The Old Tucson Movie Studios. WOW!!! This is where over 300 movies were recorded. Movies such as Rio Bravo (John Wayne), The Quick & the Dead (Gene Hackman & Sharon Stone,) & Unforgiven (Clint Eastwood & Morgan Freeman).. The famous mountain (Tucson Mountain) was a favorite, being the back ground of a TV series, High Chapparel. All the buildings are original, OK Corral stables, Big Nose Gerdies Saloon, Wells Fargo stage coach office, Olsen's mercantile (Little House on the Prairie) the Marshall's office &jails. We enjoyed a reenactment of a gun fight and a guided tour around the total set where we learned many interesting facts about movies making.
All this was topped off with another spectacular sunset!
