You’ll see a cutoff to your right and the road takes an immediate sharp cut up and to the right. There are only a few roads that go to the right, so that helps to narrow it down a bit. But, basically, from the Last Dollar Road cutoff, continue on Highway 62 a few more miles until you see a road cut off on your right. #The real story true grit 1969 how toThis road is a little tricky to describe how to get to, since I’ve never seen any road names on it. Also located off Highway 62, and just a few miles further up the road from the Last Dollar Road cutoff, is the road you need to take to go to the McAllester’s Store location. Since this location is close to Last Dollar Road, it’s best to do these two locations at the same time. Also, in the summer, cattle are often grazing on this hill.Ĭlick to enlarge this Google Earth map of Horsefly Mesa, location of McAlester’s Store This is where the cemetery scene was shot, but nothing remains up there now, except for cow pies. If you want to recreate the shot from t he first frame of the movie, it will require a bit of a climb to the top of a hill overlooking the houses. It’s private land, so be sneaky about it, if you decide to hop the fence! I’ve been told by locals that MANY people hop that fence to get a closer view, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it. You can pull into a short parking area, jump the fence and trespass in order to go up to the houses…or you can drive a bit further up the road and look back for a nice view and photo opportunities. A road sign shows Last Dollar Road turns off to the left (and it will take you on a spectacular journey through aspen groves and over mountain passes to Telluride), but if you stay right, you will immediately see the Ross Ranch up ahead on your right (it’s set back off the road though). There’s a sign at the intersection, so you won’t miss it. The cutoff for Last Dollar Road, if you’re traveling from Ridgway, is past the Dallas Divide, and on the left. The Ross Ranch is located on Last Dollar Road, which can be found off Highway 62, which runs from Ridgway to Telluride. Click to enlarge the road leading to the Ross Ranch
