Wild Hogs always brings back memories since much of the movie was filmed here in New Mexico. The scene with the Hogs skinny dipping in the hot spring was supposedly in Missouri, but in fact was filmed in New Mexico at the [url=http://www.fs.fed.us/wildflowers/regions/southwestern/LasConchasTrail/index.shtml]Las Conchas trail head in the Santa Fe National forest about 20 miles from Jemez Springs. Although there are a lot of hot springs in the area, the one in the movie was totally a prop with fake rocks and potable water trucked in to fill it.
Las Conchas became infamous in 2011 when the [url=http://swfireconsortium.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Las-Conchas-Factsheet.pdf]Las Conchas Fire started nearby when a tree fell on a power line. Largest fire in New Mexico history at 156,000 acres (245 square miles). So you don't have to ask, the fire did not threaten us as we were upwind of the fire. We did know people who lost property and animals.
The scene with the span bridge was the [url=http://www.blm.gov/nm/st/en/prog/recreation/taos/rio_grande_wsr.html]Rio Grande Gorge Bridge on US 64 west of Taos and there was brief road scene with the [url=http://www.nps.gov/vall/index.htm]Valles Caldera National Preserve in the background. I'm sure there was more but roads/trees all look alike after awhile.
