Harry and Lloyd (Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey) travel from Providence to Aspen, to return a money-packed briefcase to Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly) in the film that launched the Farrelly brothers’ brand of hi-jinx, lo-taste filmmaking. Although most of the film was shot in Colorado and Utah, as usual for the Farrellys, there’s a little scene-setting in their home state of Rhode Island, with establishing shots of Providence, including the famous Big Blue Bug – the 58-feet-long mascot which has graced the roof of the Big Blue Bug Solutions pest control company since 1980. See it overlooking I-95 at O’Connell Street, in Lower South Providence. Mary Swanson’s ‘New England’ mansion is actually in Utah. It’s La Caille, a 20-acre estate built in 1975, at Quail Run, Little Cottonwood Canyon in the city of Sandy. Most of the transcontinental journey, the highways, fast-food joints and truckstops, were filmed around Fort Morgan (boyhood home of bandleader Glenn Miller) on the eastern plains of Colorado. The arrival of Harry and Lloyd in ‘Aspen’ actually filmed on Main Street, Breckenridge, central Colorado, which is at a higher altitude than the swanky ski resort, and therefore was more likely to be snow-covered in late spring. It’s not unlikely that Breckenridge was a bit cheaper to film in, too. The mini-bike ride through ‘Aspen’ was shot on Main Street, Park City in Utah. The lavish ‘Danbury Hotel’, in which Harry and Lloyd stay (and treat themselves to a Lamborghini too), after dipping into the case of money, is the Stanley Hotel, 333 West Wonder View Avenue, Estes Park in Colorado. The grandly imposing hotel became the inspiration for the ‘Overlook’ in The Shining after Stephen King stayed there in 1973. The Stanley Kubrick film of The Shining wasn’t filmed here, but the TV remake, sanctioned by King (who didn’t care for the changes made to his story for the big screen version), was. The ‘Avalanche Bar & Grill’, where Lloyd waits in vain for Mary Swanson, is the Stanley’s bar. Harry is meanwhile meeting up with her at Copper Mountain Resort in Breckenridge, which is where he licks the frost on the ski lift. The ‘Snowy Owl Benefit’ was filmed in the 1909 Union Pacific Railroad Depot, now reborn as live music venue The Depot, 400 West South Temple, in Salt Lake City, Utah. The ‘Aspen’ chalet and the home of baddie Nicholas Andre (Charles Rocket) both filmed in Dee Valley, adjoining Park City, Utah. Most interiors were filmed, by the way, in Intermountain Studios, Orem in Utah, the studio built by The Osmonds for The Donnie and Marie Osmond Show.

View as Map Aspen may be known for its expensive houses and extravagant events (snow polo anyone?), but the world's most famous ski town really hit superstar status with the 1994 release of Dumb & Dumber. In their directorial debut, the Farrelly brothers tell the slapstick story of two dimwitted friends from Providence, Rhode Island who embark on a cross-country road trip to Aspen. Never mind that Llyod and Harry continually mis-locate the ski town in California, Aspen holds a special role in the film. As Lloyd (Jim Carrey) exclaims, the historic ski town is "a place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called Asssspen." Here's the catch: while the Farrelly brothers did film in Colorado, no scenes were ever filmed in Aspen. We break down where all the wannabe-Aspen ski moments were filmed, from Salt Lake City to Breckenridge. Behold, the map guide to Dumb & Dumber. Read More The Farrelly brothers used Providence's Big Blue Bug to establish a little scene-setting for their home state of Rhode Island. This landmark overlooks the I-95 and is almost 1000 times bigger than a normal termite.
In a classic production twist, Mary Swanson's "New England" mansion is actually nowhere near the East Coast. Instead, the 20-acre estate built in 1975 is actually located in Sandy, Utah near the Little Cottonwood Canyon.
Harry and Lloyd take a bath together at the Bear Mountain Chalet in Utah. Nice bathtub.
Much of the film depicts Lloyd and Harry's epic trek across the country in search of Mary Swanson. Most of their transcontinental journey, including the highways, fast-food joints, and truck stops, was filmed around Fort Morgan, a small town on the eastern plains of Colorado. The memorable "wrong-way" scene when the pair get in an epic fight after Lloyd drives five hours in the wrong direction? Yup, that was eastern Colorado.
Harry and Lloyd finally make it to "Aspen." Except it's not Aspen. Dumb & Dumber actually filmed the scene on Main Street, Breckenridge, which sits at a higher altitude than Aspen and was therefore more likely to be covered in snow in late spring.
Lloyd and Harry ride their scooter through "Aspen." In fact, the scene was filmed in both Park City and Breckenridge.
Flush with money from their suitcase, Lloyd and Harry stay at the ultra-luxe "Danbury Hotel". In reality, the scenes were filmed at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado.
Lloyd waits in vain for Mary Swanson at the Avalanche Bar & Grill. The scenes were filmed at the Stanley Hotel's bar in Estes Park.
While Lloyd is waiting in the bar for Mary, Harry is skiing with her at Copper Mountain Resort. And then he gets his tongue stuck on the chairlift, because it's Dumb & Dumber.
Lloyd and Harry get all fancied up to attend the Snowy Owl Benefit in Aspen. In fact, the scenes were filmed in Salt Lake City in a music venue now called the Depot.
Both the Aspen "chalet" in Dumb & Dumber and the home of villain Nicholas Andre (played by Charles Rocket) were actually filmed in Deer Valley, Utah.
