Where is Yellowstone filmed?

Paramount Network

Many of Yellowstone'due south episodes show off breathtaking views of the great outdoors—and all of that natural scenery is 100% authentic. Co-ordinate to The Common salt Lake Tribune, 70-75% of the first three seasons of the series were filmed in more than xx locations beyond Utah as function of the country's film incentive programme.

"This was the largest show that has e'er come to the state of Utah," Marshall Moore, Vice President of Utah Film Studios, told Deseret News. The primary cities where production took place include Park City, Ogden, and Spanish Fork.

These days, the The Yellowstone cast spends most of their time in Montana to motion-picture show on a existent-life ranch in the state where the testify is meant to take place. The Dutton family'south gorgeous log cabin is really a 5,000-square foot mansion located on Principal Joseph Ranch near Darby, Montana. Only similar on Idiot box, it' a real working cattle ranch and family home—and it'south totally stunning, of course.

"On the ranch, we're actually filming where it's actually ready. It'southward almost like the near primal character," Kevin said in an interview with Vanity Fair. "You footstep outside and you lot run across running horses and men working and the atmospheric condition dictates what y'all do."

When Yellowstone is not filming on the 2,500-acre ranch, the owners hire out some of the cabins on the property to visitors. Guests can spend their time line-fishing, horseback riding, and hiking through the area's beautiful mountains. (All while fantasizing about Kevin showing up, of class.)

Flavor iv stirred upwards plenty of new drama—but you lot probably didn't notice the change of scenery from the first three seasons. Co-ordinate to The Salt Lake Tribune, the upcoming flavor was filmed almost exclusively in Montana. The decision to finish whatever product in Utah was largely fiscal, because the state's "express revenue enhancement incentive program will not provide [the prove] with the same rebates" they previously received.

With most of the filming now taking place in Montana, Yellowstone is going to be more than accurate than ever earlier—and even more cute.

"I don't think nosotros ever tire of seeing running rivers, valleys, and mountains. If you lot tin can ready a drama confronting all that, it'south fun," Kevin told CBS This Morning.

Simply the cast and crew of Yellowstone was also spotted in Texas.

Yellowstone fans in Texas got the surprise of a lifetime when the testify's cast and crew showed up in their small town to shoot at a local cafe last fall.

Mary Anderson, the owner of Mary's Brazos Cafe in Parker Canton, Due north Texas, "couldn't believe it was actually happening."

"The street on the other side [of the cafe] was lined up with my customers watching and trying to see what was going on," Mary told Outsider. "It was awesome."

When asked why he decided to flick at Mary'southward, Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan told local news it was "because that's where we accept breakfast when I'yard here."

Now that we know that Jimmy shipped down to Texas to the 6666 Ranch, this makes a lot more sense. So it seems like his story is far from over!
