Even the most adventurous people probably wouldn’t want to wake up smack dab in the middle of a Western. After all, ruthless outlaws could be lurking behind every boulder, and becoming a sharpshooter takes lots of practice. However, if you’re awestruck by the sprawling landscapes in the new Jeymes Samuels Netflix feature, The Harder They Fall, then we’ve got a treat for you. 

The breathtaking locations Nat Love (Jonathan Majors), Rufus Buck (Idris Elba) and their respective gangs journey through are almost enough to make wanderlust-filled fans rethink their fear of being in a Wild West revenge plot. The story’s key conflict is set in motion during one of the film’s most visually stunning scenes. Viewers are introduced to Trudy Smith (Regina King) and Cherokee Bill (LaKeith Stanfield) as they ride horseback through a snow-flecked expanse to intercept a train that’s transporting their imprisoned leader, Rufus. Though the steam engine looks like a relic of a bygone era, it’s a still-functioning train that tourists can ride. 

In fact, if you travel to New Mexico — where the movie was filmed — you can immerse yourself even further into this story. Here’s how. 

The No. 168 is a restored 1880s steam locomotive that runs 64 miles between Chama, New Mexico, and Antonito, Colorado, along the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad line, through a variety of quintessential Southwestern landscapes, from rolling alpine meadows and aspen forests to mountain peaks and lava mesas. Traveling at just 12 miles an hour with no modern roads in sight, the train offers riders scenes seemingly pulled straight from a time machine. 

When Nat Love, his trusty companions Jim Beckwourth (RJ Cyler) and Bill Pickett (Edi Gathegi) and former love, Stagecoach Mary (Zazie Beetz), aren’t traversing untamed plains, their vengeful antics take them to fictional villages like Douglastown, Redwood City and Maysville. In reality, the many scenes featuring these very authentic-looking pioneer towns were filmed at Cerro Pelon Movie Ranch in Galisteo, New Mexico, about 37 miles outside Santa Fe. While tourists can’t actually set foot on the ranch, which sits on a property that used to be owned by fashion designer Tom Ford and has served as the location for many Westerns since being constructed in 1985, they can nonetheless enjoy the beautiful natural attractions around it.

Cerro Pelon offers Sandia Mountains views to the southwest, and travelers can also visit the nearby Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway, which offers an 11,000-square-mile panorama of the encompassing area. Just 32 miles from Cerro Pelon, and 14 miles from Santa Fe, tourists can find the 10,000 acres of arroyos, sandstone formations and savannas that make up the Galisteo Basin Preserve. Hike or bike the 41 miles of publicly accessible trails like a true pioneer. The Galisteo Creek runs right through the property inside which Cerro Pelon Ranch sits. Those looking to take in the waterway like The Harder They Fall’s outlaws do can book trail rides through Galisteo Creek Stables, a family-owned horse stable about 27 miles from the movie ranch.
