YeeeeeHaaa!! Today, All Roads filmmakers, photographers and staff were treated to a special tour of the iconic Bonanza Creek Ranch. This amazing piece of Americana provided the backdrop to such films as "The Cowboys" (featuring the late John Wayne) "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", "Young Guns", "Walker, Texas Ranger" and countless other movies, commercials, television shows and music videos since the 1950's.
From the authentic old fashioned saloons to the local jail, we were escorted throughout literal 
"ghost towns" ranch's passionate owner and caretaker Imogene Hughes. Totalling over 30,000 acres, the ranch has been in Hughes' family since the 1940's.
The most recent film to wrap production on Bonanza is the soon-to-be-released "Astronaut Farmer" featuring Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thorton. Actually, the film is set to debut at this year's Santa Fe Film festival.
