Just thought I’d let you know that my new copy of National Geographic Traveler magazine features New Zealand as well as LOTR:FOTR in an article entitled: “On Location: 50 Great Film Destinations.”
The article features a paragraph or two on 50 great places to visit where famous movies have been shot. An interesting fact about FOTR is that the striking location of the Dimrill Dale, when the Fellowship leaves Moria, was recreated at Lake Alta in The Remarkables, a mountain range popular for skiing, ice and mountain climbing and heli-hiking. Unfortunately, no pics of New Zealand were featured.
