Travel Directions:
At 1st Avenue and 6th Street, face the Beiseker Village Office (a former Canadian Pacific Railway station), turn south (left) on 1st Avenue and go 0.8 km. Turn right at the “Dump Gate” sign and go 0.3 km. The site is on the right, enclosed by a white wooden fence.

Remarks:
Why did the producers clear vacant land and create a trailer park for this scene when there were plenty of trailer parks in the area? (We found at least four during the course of our search for this location.)

For one thing, it was necessary to destroy Ennis’s trailer in order to obtain all of the camera positions required. Additionally, their made-to-order trailer park had no traffic, no nosy neighbors, no other sources of possible interference that could mar the shooting of this critical scene.

Quotation:
“I reckon they can find themselves a new cowboy.”
