Let’s set expectations. Repeat after me: this is a movie. Generally speaking, Thelma and Louise does a much better job aligning itself to actual, genuine physical geography than the average Hollywood production. Even so, it still harbors a few inconsistencies. There are time shifts. Mountains rise in places that don’t have mountains. Roads and sett...
Thelma Dickinson (Geena Davis) and Louise Sawyer (Susan Sarandon) plan a brief road trip together in Louise’s 1966 Thunderbird convertible. They need a little free-time away from the flawed men in their lives; Thelma’s over-controlling husband Darryl and Louise’s take-it-for-granted boyfriend Jimmy. Male characters display lots of dysfunctional beh...
The duo intends to drive up to “the Mountains” (at minute 5:53 on the DVD version) with fishing gear (6:02). From Little Rock, possibilities include the Ozark Mountains to the North or the Ouachita Mountains to the West. I discounted other directions because, as you will see, the action compels them towards Oklahoma City. These choices position the...
Thelma and Louise drive towards Oklahoma City. As dawn emerges, they are heading down an empty 2-lane highway (28:50) but they are still in Arkansas (31:18). Louise calls boyfriend Jimmy and asks him to wire money, her life savings, to a Western Union in Oklahoma City. The women first encounter J.D. (played by Brad Pitt in one of his first major ro...
Louise gets a bit complacent. Then she’s stopped by a New Mexico state policeman after blowing through a speed trap (1:36:57). Now wanted for armed robbery and fearing arrest, the duo locks the policeman into the trunk of his squad car. They have to get out of New Mexico (1:41:54) but it’s too risky to head directly towards the Mexican border (1:51...
Thelma and Louise enter Arizona. Soon they are spotted by the police after the authorities trace the location of a phone call they make. One police car is specifically marked as the Navajo County Sheriff’s office (1:57:23). A deleted scene on the DVD includes a mention of them still being about 250 miles from Mexico. Thus, the final escape plan may...

The lonesome mountain road at the opening of “Thelma & Louise” is a stark and poignant sight. Drive to the tiny town of La Sal to approach this high mountain range yourself, crossing the desert valley flats for an up-close view of peaks that hit well over 12,000 feet in elevation.
Start in Arkansas: The movie begins in a small town in Arkansas, which is where Thelma and Louise start their journey. You can start your road trip in a town like Benton or Hot Springs, both of which are not far from the capital, Little Rock.
It’s worth noting that the Grand Canyon is located in Arizona which is on the way to California or Mexico from Arkansas where Thelma and Louise start their journey. Ultimately, we never find out exactly where Thelma and Louise were headed as their journey takes an unexpected turn.
