Lasalle Mountains
 
Fisher Towers is the rock formation.

Many film makers have taken advantage of the spectacular scenery surrounding Moab.

In the late 40s the legendary John Ford discovered the rugged beauty of Moab's Canyonlands and filmed the 1st of many movies here. The first major motion pictures filmed in the Moab area were set on the Red Cliffs Ranch. Wagon Master, Rio Grande, Son of Chochise, Warlock, Commancheros, Cheyenne Autumn, and many more used the ranch and it's magnificent scenery for filming. John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Ben Johnson, Rock Hudson, Henry Fonda, Anthony Quinn, Lee Marvin, Richard Widmark, James Stewart, and Richard Boone have all worked on location here at the Red Cliff's Ranch.

More recently Geronimo, City Slickers, Thelma & Louise, along with other movies and over 100 commercials have all used the Moab area as a location.

This area was the venue of many movies, plus the famous Chevy commercial atop Castle Rock.
