The Wild West will never die.
In the early days of Hollywood, Westerns were king. Gunsmoke, the Man With No Name Trilogy, and countless other shows and films established the genre as a favorite for filmgoers.
The Old Tucson Studios was where many great films, including Rio Bravo, El Dorado, and Tombstone were filmed, making it a must-see for diehard fans of gunslinger movies. Today, the studio still stands as a theme park open to visitors, and it feels just like walking on to the set of one of these classics.
Go back to a conception of the Old West and see where the cowboys of Hollywood shot some iconic scenes.
