Peak Northwest

Where to find Oregon’s most famous filming locations


Listen Later

You might be able to recognize a few locations featured in some of the most famous films made in Oregon, like “Twilight” or “The Shining,” but how do you find them all?

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we explore the Oregon Film Trail, a series of markers erected at famous filming locations throughout the state.

We’re joined by Kristi Turnquist, life and culture for The Oregonian/OregonLive, who has been covering the evolution of the film trail. In recent years, more markers have been going up at locations from the Astoria to Baker City, attracting movie fans and tourists alike.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • Where and how to find the Oregon Film Trail markers.
  • Why are so many movies made in Oregon?
  • Some of the best movies and TV shows filmed in our state.
  • The future of the Oregon Film Trail will depend on the future of films made in Oregon.
