THE 2023 “On Location” TOURS (ALL TOURS leave from the Museum South parking lot )
NOTE: TOURS SELL OUT QUICKLY • THERE IS A WAITING LIST FOR TOURS.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU SEE THE FILMS OR ATTEND THE PRESENTATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TOURS.
The Film Festivals movie location tours are coordinated every year with the BLM who oversees The Alabama Hills. Preserving the landscape is a priority and as such the Festival tours are limited to 10 cars and/or 20 people. As such, and to maximize the tour opportunity for all who want to go on tours, we suggest that individual drivers who would like to join the caravan, be willing to have others join them in their car for the tour. Please mention this to the Ticket coordinator when you call if you are a “one person” participant and driving.
The Museum tour coordinator, at the South parking lot where tours leave from, may ask you to participate as outlined above if you are the only one in a vehicle. The Film Festival Board thanks you for your understanding and your cooperation.

Before the river was diverted upstream into the California Aqueduct the area was used time and time again for scenes in such films as The Man from Utah (1934) with John Wayne, Between Men (1935) with Johnny Mack Brown, and the Round-up (1920), the earliest surviving movie made in the area. See where scenes from these movies were made, as well as others from Lawless Range (1935), Army Girl (1938), The Nevadan (1950) and many more.

Marshal Harry Deckett (Stephen McNally) is determined to collect the reward money for Travers, even though he knows that Santell is not Travers. The only way for Santell to survive is to find the real Travers, and thereby prove his own innocence.

Sat. 8:30 am – 10:30 am Ride Lonesome Featuring James Best with Tyler Malone
Pre-Tour Screening Ride Lonesome – Friday @ High School Auditorium 7:00 pm
When actor Randolph Scott, his producing partner Harry Joe Brown, and director Budd Boetticher collaborated, they did not miss. All six films of the so-called “Ranown Cycle” (Seven Men from Now, The Tall T, Decision at Sundown, Buchanan Rides Alone, Ride Lonesome, and Comanche Station) are quality Westerns, and four of them were shot in the Alabama Hills. In Ride Lonesome, one of the best of the bunch, bounty hunter Ben Brigade (Scott) captures a wanted murdered named Billy John (James Best), intending to take him to Santa Cruz to be hanged. The tale of revenge and absolution takes some twists and turns, and we’ll follow those twist and turns quite literally, standing in the footsteps of Scott and Best. As we do, we will also point out some sites from another James Best performance – the little-seen pilot for Red Ryder, which starred Allan “Rocky” Lane and featured Best in a guest role, but was never picked up by a network. NOTE: This tour requires walking through sagebrush including hiking a steep trail up a canyon.
