Not far from the spot where the Basque provisioner warned Ennis about bulky soup boxes, the magnificent Bow River forms a lovely small canyon. Named for the resilient trees which grow along its banks that were used by native peoples to make hunting bows, the river has a distinctive turquoise color. It is fed by glaciers high in the Canadian Rockies to the west. From there, it makes its way to Calgary where it meets the Elbow River near the site of Fort Calgary. Finding Brokeback

From Good Earth Travel Adventures:

On Good Earth’s Brokeback Alberta, you’ll experience firsthand the stunning visuals of the movie while relaxing at luxury lodging in both Canmore and Kananaskis (where the cast stayed).  World-renowned Banff National Park and Lake Louise are just a few minutes away for day visits or you have the option to include them in your vacation.  Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhall won’t be there, but then again this is your adventure.  If you want to visit the same local watering holes where they hung out, we’ll point you in the right direction.

One of the interiors used in the filming of Brokeback Mountain in 2004:

Site Name: Electra, Texas, (Clown) Bar

In spite of his charms, Jack could not score with Jimbo (played by Calgary local Tom Carey) here. Similarly, the King Edward (King Eddie) has been unable to lure enough of its SE Calgary neighbors to remain solvent. Run down and contaminated by “toxic mold,” this century-old hotel and blues bar was boarded up two weeks after Brokeback Mountain filming was completed in August 2004. The area is now slated for redevelopment, with proposals for the King Eddie's renewal being considered.

The Alberta Tourism Industry's web site has maps pinpointing Brokeback Mountain filming locations.

[Toast]

Site Name: Brokeback "Flat" Highway
 
Travel Directions:
From Hwy 1, take Morley Exit, north 3.6 km to Hwy 1A, turn right (east) go 6.9 km to the site, which is at the corner of Hwy 1A and Jamieson Rd.

Remarks:
Though Ennis and Jack were probably not concentrating on scenery as they drove down this road, you might find time to appreciate the rolling hills that typify the scenic foothills region of Alberta.

This scene of the boys' herding sheep was shot at the Stoney Native Reservation.

Here it is without all those sheep:
