I'm not sure, but they were much more like the Rockies or the Grand Tetons
than the Appalachians. Huge, craggy, granite, snow-covered cliffs, above
the timberline in many cases. Nothing like I've ever seen in PA.

The PA hills are nice, particularly to fly over. Too bad they had to use
stand-ins for them in The Deer Hunter. I guess the real ones just
weren't spectacular enough. Sure looked wrong in the movie.


I never saw that movie. Where was it filmed?

I think you're right Bob. I didn't think the mountain scenes looked
right for Pennsylvania either, and they weren't: The scenes were
filmed at Lake Chelan Washington, and Mt Baker Washington.
