Ever watched a movie and thought, “That view can’t be real”? In some cases—it absolutely is.

From redwood forests to alien deserts, America’s national parks have quietly played starring roles in some of your favorite films. This week, we’re exploring the real-life landscapes behind iconic scenes from Star Wars, Indiana Jones, The Shining, Dances with Wolves, and more.

In this episode:

  • The national park that doubled as Endor
  • Where to find Tatooine (without leaving Earth)
  • The eerie road from The Shining’s unforgettable opening
  • The park that’s appeared in everything from Stagecoach to Forrest Gump
