We had a great hotel, directly at the Colorado River and also as it turned out with its own small film museum, since everyone since everyone and their script girl stayed there since the silent movie days. I wasn't surprised that not only Westerns but sci fi movies were shot in the area, because there was an alien quality to the landscape, no question. Though I swear none of the rocks hunted me down and made me lose my shirt.
