When Jack and Ennis were just apple-cheeked lads, they lived in Lightning Flat and Sage, Wyoming, respectively.

During a visit to New York, Annie Proulx met Ang Lee for the first time in a funky boîte far downtown and, to her great relief, there was a positive connection.

Great idea for a round!

The train going through the town of Cowley, Alberta, the stand-in for Signal, Wyoming, famously had no caboose, a small goof in the film.

After leaving Brokeback, Jack looks for rodeo jobs in Texas while Ennis drifts from job to job in Wyoming.

"E" is earth-shaking

After receiving via postcard the earth-shaking news of Jack's death, Ennis made a long-distance phone call to Jack's house in Childress, Texas, hoping against hope that he would answer the phone.

"F" is flickered

As Ennis washes the coffeepot and looks up to see Jack herding sheep, we see a shot of Mount Inflexible in Alberta's Kananaskis Country on a day when cloud shadows flickered over its rugged, tree-studded surface.

"G" is gallivant

After the post-divorce* mixup, Jack started to gallivant around Juarez, Mexico.

*Alma divorced Ennis because she felt that something was rotten in the state of Denmark.

Over the years Jack and Ennis horse-packed into the Big Horns, Medicine Bows, south end of the Gallatins, Absarokas, Granites, Owl Creeks, the Bridger-Teton Range, the Freezeouts and the Shirleys, Ferrises and the Rattlesnakes, Salt River Range, into the Wind Rivers over and again, the Sierra Madres, Gros Ventres, the Washakies, and Laramies but never returned to Brokeback Mountain.

Upper Kananaskis Lake was witness to the inferno of emotions that was the final lake scene.
