One of the most recognizable views in the Navajo Reservation, with Monument Valley in the background, is Forrest Gump Point. In the 1994 film, Forrest Gump stopped running near the 13th marker on Route 163 and delivered his famous “put the past behind you” line.

Approaching Monument Valley on Highway 163. Photo taken at sunset. This view is called Forrest Gump Point because this is where Forrest Gump stopped running in the movie.

This bridge is at the eastern entrance to Glacier National Park, Montana. We were told by a few employees that this is the bridge Tom Hanks ran across in the movie "Forrest Gump".
It is a beautiful bridge . .
You get the coolest stories from complete strangers, just like that from Forrest.... 10/8/20 Orlando Florida
The lower limb of this tree was in the movie "Forrest Gump" (from another angle). The tree has since mostly died - but part is still alive. These live oaks are often a large trunk and a few spindly limbs, after the dead part falls off.
Forrest Gump Point on Highway 163 marks the spot where the character ended his cross-country run, now a beloved roadside viewpoint. The open vista frames sweeping desert and distant buttes, and standing there I kept hearing Forrest’s line, "I'm pretty tired... I think I'll go home now."
I was only at the start of my Monument Valley adventures that day, though, so Robert Frost’s words echoed in my head: "And miles to go before I sleep."
The Forest Gump Highway, Highway 163 in Monument Valley. In the movie, Forest Gump ran for 3 years, 2 months, 14 days, and 16 hours, or approximately 19,024 miles, 30,016 km. Wow. This is where he stopped running, milepost 13. At certain times of the year the Milky Way lines up with the Highway. On this night there was considerable smoke on the horizon from wildfires, and local homesteads create some light pollution that illuminates the smoke. The smoke magnifies the effect of the light pollution. Single exposure. Hope you enjoy!
If you are considering a night photo tour in Monument Valley consider contacting Majestic Monument Valley Tours and ask for a night tour with Quanah. He introduced me to areas I never knew existed.

I can understand why Forest Gump decided to stop running here as the view is magnificent especially at sunrise
Forest Gump Point, Utah
This is one of my most favorite places to stop when road tripping through the South West. This is also the very same spot where Forest Gump decided to stop running. Speaking of running, you had better have your good running shoes on when photographing this location because the cars coming at you are usually doing 100+ MPH. Fortunately, I had a spotter that would cover for me when I was taking a shot.

"I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floatin' around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both."
It's both. At once.
Somehow.

The Navajo call this Forest Gump Hill.

Sorry, it was a bit of a hazy day so not the best color and clarity.
This church was used in filming for the Forrest Gump movie. Forrest prayed for shrimp there.
Constructed ca. 1833, Stoney Creek Independent Presbyterian Chapel is the only pre-Civil War structure remaining in the village of McPhersonville. This village was built on high ground away from the rice fields in the midst of a tall pine forest. Built by the planters of Prince William Parish who resided in the village during the summer months, the one-story frame building is in the Greek Revival style with later Victorian features.
Since it was created as a summer chapel, Stoney Creek is plain and austere, as one would expect for a Presbyterian congregation. It boasts an imposing façade with four Doric columns supporting a pedimented roof, sash windows with semi-elliptical transoms, and a round stained glass window. An octagonal steeple was added in 1890. The lantern of the steeple features arched 6-light windows on four sides. A small wooden finial rests atop the conical roof. The interior is very simple with plain plaster walls, original wooden pews, and wide pine floors. The site was used as a hospital and the grounds for a campsite by Federal troops. Regular worship at the chapel dwindled due to the economy and lack of growth in the community. As a result the congregation was dissolved in 1967.
