  • My friend Shaun and I had a blast last summer tracking all of these locations from this incredible movie. I lost a drone, nearly lost my wedding ring, almost lost all of my lenses to water damage, and could have died. However, I would do it all over again for that amazing experience. Western North Carolina has such beautiful, natural landscapes. We ended spending about 4 days at different state parks and forests (Bridal Veil Falls, Triple Falls, Linville Falls, Chimney Rock State Park, and more!) to hunt these all down and luckily they weren't too hard to find. After the movie's release, a man named Rich Federici obsessed over the locations and found nearly all of them.
    You can find his guidebook at:

    I highly recommend for any locations enthusiast!

      Thanks! We went to the area of the last scene in the movie (“the chimneys”?) and couldn’t find the exact spot. I was going to send up the drone to search for it, but it started raining and then got dark on us. Hopefully, I can go back one day and hit that one and a couple others I missed.

    Last of the Mohicans was my summer job in 1991. I spent about 25 days as an extra for the Albany, Ft. William Henry and "Massacre Valley" scenes. We trained in the Asheville area with Capt. Dale Dye for a week or so and we on set every day for almost a month after. Any scene with massed infantry had me in there somewhere. :-) Great memories.

I didn't get to "keep" any of the props but my step-dad bought me one of the Brown Bess muskets from the production company once filming was over, still have it.

      I remember watching this at a friends house in 93, I was 19 or so….. His family had some money and had an amazing Entertainment Room. We had “smoked a bit of nature” and watched this movie…. I was UTTERLY BLOWN AWAY with the Filmography, sound, and amazing acting of this film. I remember walking home after that movie, and I could not stop thinking about it!! I’m now almost 49 and I STILL GET THAT SAME SENSE OF AMAZEMENT when I watch this absolute GEM of a Movie. Great Storytelling!

      Just don’t do what I did and read about the mistakes, now every time I watch it (which is regular cause I’m obsessed) they jump out at me and I can’t unsee them 😢. The director was apparently a real perfectionist and checked every minor detail a million times but he was told to stop part way through due to time and budget and then the mistakes started.

    Bar none, this is pretty much one of my all time favorite movies! I was born and raised in upstate, New York and I have lived in North Carolina for 30 years now. This movie has always checked all the boxes for me with the beautiful NC scenery, the action, cinematography, romance, hero's journey and the story of the French and Indian War that partly took place in New York State. I grew up learning about the various Native American Tribes from New York State and from Canada. The history and the courage of the indigenous people and early settlors really stuck with me. Plus, I did my own "scouting" trip with my family back here in NC around 1995 to see where the movie "Last of the Mohicans" had been filmed including many of the prime locations/scenes. You did a great job overlaying the present video clips with the ones from the movie and the drone footage and other video clips are really stunning, just like the movie.

    Thanks for the great location re-caps. This is the reason I moved to Asheville, NC. I had visited a few times, then watched the movie and noticed all the familiar locations in the movie credits. I especially love the shots at Tripple Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. The only shot I wish you would have gotten was the scene where they are hiking up the side of High Falls in Dupont State Park. Don't let the ranger catch you doing that...they'll kick you out for sure. I found that out the hard way after many ascents. 🙈

My dad knew the old logging roads and where all the waterfalls were...great fun and really cold water!

    Hey guys. I enjoyed your video and it brought back a lot of memories. I am a native North Carolinian and back in the mid 90s, my wife and I took a trip to Chimney Rock Park and after talking to a few locals, they told us how to get to the Huron Village. It was quite a hike up and we had to cross a barricade or two but we finally made it. It was left exactly like it was in the film. It was amazing to see. Not sure if it's still there or not.

    Amazing work! I recently came across this video after re-watching LotM. One of my all time favorites. But it was a bit disappointing as I mistakenly thought the movie was filmed in the Adirondacks in upstate NY. Which is equally beautiful and as breathtaking as North Carolina. No matter the movie was great, the scenery is fantastic and it only enforces in me an appreciation for how blessed we Americans are with the abundance of outdoor and natural gifts. Let’s all make sure to appreciate what we have and be good stewards for future generations to come.

    • @GoingtotheMovies
      @GoingtotheMovies  ปีที่แล้ว +1

    We lived on Shumont Mountain above Bat Cave and Chimney Rock. I was lucky enough to meet the photographers at lunch one day and offered to show them some beautiful places nearby outside of Chimney Rock park. We had a fun day traipsing around Shumont up to Eagle Rock and Devil's Thumb and down in the side valley off route 9 along the river. I don't know if they ever used any of the sites, but they knew where to go if they needed them.

    I like the breakdown of the shots because it shows the beauty of how a movie comes together. Especially the shot from under the waterfall, then to the set. Such awesome editing trickery, but absolutely fun to learn about. It's also inspirational to a DP or Director because it shows just what you can do when you look at an awesome location from the right kind of perspective.

    There’s one more location at DuPont, but it’s heavily fenced off now: Just past the east side of the covered bridge near High Falls you can trek down the the falls to see the exact spot Cora breaks the rhododendron leaves that they later see as a sign she passed that way towards the end of the movie.
    It used to be a social trail down to the water, but since being fenced off I would assume it’s all grown over.
