<P> After Warner Bros. advanced Redford $200,000 to secure him for the film , they decided that it had to be shot on its backlot due to cost constraints . Insisting that it must be shot on location in Utah , Redford and Pollack convinced the studio that this could be done at the same cost . To prepare for production , art director Ted Haworth drove over 26,000 miles to find locations . Ultimately , it was shot in nearly 100 locations across Utah , including : Mount Timpanogos , Ashley National Forest , Leeds , Snow Canyon State Park , St. George , Sundance Resort , Uinta National Forest , Wasatch - Cache National Forest , and Zion National Park . </P>
