Site Name: Ennis’ Flashback
 
Travel Directions:
From Hwy 1 (Trans-Canada Hwy), take Hwy 9 north to Drumheller and then Hwy 10 / Hwy 56 southeast from Drumheller towards Dorothy. Continue southeast on Hwy 10 to Hwy 570 east in Dorothy. Turn right (south) on Hwy 848, and cross the yellow bridge. The site is 0.5 km southwest of the bridge on the west side of the road.

Remarks:
If you want to trace nine-year-old Ennis’ steps, make a side trip to Alberta’s exotic “Badlands” region. Dorothy is a picturesque ghost town with inspiring, decaying western prairie buildings of every description. Nearby Drumheller (say “drum Heller”) boasts the world’s largest collection of dinosaur fossils at its celebrated Royal Tyrrell Museum (which, quite naturally, is surrounded by the world’s tackiest collection of commercialized dinosaur kitsch).

After tirelessly searching BBM shooting locations for a week, Canadian philanthropist and Brokeback truck owner Rob Freeman (see: www.thebrokebacktruck.ca for information) noted that Earl’s life ended in “Dorothy,” while Jack met his fate on “Rainbow Road.” Coincidence, Judy?

Important:
Always obtain appropriate permission before entering private property. The road is unpaved, so use caution.

Quotation:
