We wouldn’t trade our topouts or summits reached for much, but there are times when there is little better than enjoying a good flick and acting slightly self-indulgent on the couch after a long day on the trail. When Hollywood decides to escape the studio and get into the backcountry to tell a story, we’re doubly satisfied. We polled the office for the favorite Hollywood movies shot outside of the studio. Here are the results:
