  • Great site I just happened to stumble onto. Thanks to Moderator Kevin for getting me registered.

    We're going to be somewhere around the North Rim of the Grand Canyon later this summer and were looking for the location of the movie set where "She Wore aYellow Ribbon" was filmed. Any help in locating this place would be appreciated. Will be reading a lot on this site to catch up.

    I saw my first John Wayne movie when I was just a little fellow, but I never forgot it. "Red River" it was. Next I saw "Hondo" and by then I was addicted. Lots of difference between the Duke and Roy Rogers.

    We lived about 35 miles from the nearest town in West Texas so opportunities were limited back then. Cost .09 cents to get in. You can figure the math. Yep, I'm carrying a lot of lustrum around...

    Great site. I'll be back often.

    Where She Wore A Yellow Ribbon was filmed.


    I'll look into our other threads posted by our member Chillbill,
    and see if I can link you to the photo of the cabin etc
    which was located at Gouldings Trading Post.

  • Pecos Bill,


    WELCOME to the Original John Wayne Message Board! A friendlier, more knowledgeable bunch you are not likely to find anywhere, and we are glad to have you join us!


    Keith has certainly directed you in the right direction, when he pointed you in ChiliBill's direction. Bill, when he was in his teens, worked as an extra in several Westerns filmed in the Southwest, including She Wore A Yellow Ribbon. I feel confident you will get as good an answer to your question as can be had.


    Again - welcome! And we look forward to seeing you around often!
