On Every Tour
What You'll See & Do.
Every standard tour includes all of this. Private tours can go deeper on any section.
Walk the Movie Set
Step through the saloon, hotel, jail, and original production buildings of Eaves Movie Ranch. Try on the props. Stand where Lonesome Dove, Silverado, and Wyatt Earp were filmed.
Take In the Land
Stand in the open New Mexico high desert that's drawn filmmakers for fifty years. Endless acres of mesa, sky, and silence — the kind of view a photo never quite captures.
Hear the Real Story

Walk the same streets where Young Guns, Silverado, Lonesome Dove, and Wyatt Earp were filmed.
