What’s on the “Horizon” after Yellowstone
As Utah celebrates 100 Years of Film in 2024, Oscar and Emmy winner Kevin Costner has released the first installment of his filmed in Utah, multi-chapter western, Horizon: An American Saga. After the phenomenal success of the drama series Yellowstone – with scenes filmed across the American West, including Utah – Salt Lake City’s Transportation Network has launched two new Yellowstone production tours (summer and winter). The guided day tours take set-jetting visitors to some of the iconic filming locations along Northern Utah’s Wasatch Mountain range, providing exclusive access to sites not available to the general public. The experience includes a two-hour horseback riding tour in summer and a two-hour snowmobile tour in winter.
