Took a trip this summer to SW Colorado where True Grit was filmed. Ate at the True Grit Cafe in Ridgeway. The cafe is across the street where they had the hanging scene. Also got to see the old house that was used for Mattie Ross home and the cemetery supposedly where her father was buried.

If you ever get a chance, come to the Eastern High Sierra of California where they filmed some other scenes for True Grit. I can show you where they filmed the shootout at the dugout, where Wayne made the men with the wagon throw there rifles in the river and where they rode through the reeds on the way to the river crossing.
