PBS Mystery: Where were they?
 

By any chance did anyone see the PBS Mystery Movie "Coyote Waits"? There was a scene where the character Office Chee is driving through tunnels carved into the caverns. Might someone know what road this is? It looked like an amazing drive.

I think they were on the Navaho Reservation in the Four Corners area of Utah.

I don't know exactly where the tunnels were but I was keeping track of places they showed in the movie.

The big map had one of the locations of the triangle near Farmington, New Mexico. The college and resturant were in Albuquerque, NM

The Big Chief Gas Station & Market must be the Big Chief Trading Co in the yellowpages and it is on Hwy 44 between Zia Pueblo and San Ysidro, NM.

There is Jemez Springs High School on highway 4 just north of Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico. Highway 4 is just off of Hwy 44 near San Ysidro, NM. All of which is on Indian Reservations.

Jemez Pueblo and Zia Pueblo were mentioned in the credits.

Myname,

Rent the movie "The Mexican" with Brad Pitt & Julia Roberts and I believe you'll see those same tunnels depicted. If they are indeed the same ones, they are down in Mexico and are the only method of reaching a centuries-old town (I believe) whose name I can't remember.

If you rent the movie, watch the "making of" documentary and it will tell you exactly where the tunnels are located and what the town they lead to is called.

Coyote Waits was filmed in New Mexico, USA.

I think the town in Mexico is called Guanajuato, near San Miguel de Allende. An old silver mining town that is lovely.

Thank you Utahtea and everyone who responded.
