Does anyone know the location of the "Cimarron Club" in Great Falls Montana. This was the club Catherine Bach walked out of when she was confronted by Jeff Bridges as he rolled up in the stolen Riveria saying, "Quick! Get in!"
shareGreat question. I couldn't uncover its location, perhaps its too long gone. :(

The Cimarron Club is now called the Black Eagle Country Club and is located in the 1165-1199 block of Smelter Ave, in Great Falls, Montana. On google maps street view the building looks the same as it did in the movie, only the sign has changed it seems.

Enjoy!
WOW, saw the extra "finds" you made this summer. Incredible! The only one I already knew was where Goodie filled up for gas, but the Wolf Creek (my favorite find of yours) Where Lightfoot got picked up and the Carmel drive locations are fantastic. If you ever nail the "GERONIMO!" jump location or arguably the hardest: the trailer location, you'll damn near have the whole film. Great work!

Believe me, I've been working SO hard with my Norwegian friend to find Geronimo. As far as the trailer park is concerned, I believe I made a note somewhere that the only trailer park I saw on satellite images was at 36th Ave NE and 9th St NE in Great Falls. Unfortunately it doesn't show on a 1st July 1976 topographic map. The difficult thing is that there are no clues in the film as to where it is. I do think thought that they filmed in an actual trailer as I understand everything was filmed on location and not in a studio.
Feel free to PM me your email address and we can correspond directly if you like.
My educated guess would be they filmed it in or around Gates of the Mountain park. There are a lot of hills, trees, and dirt roads with switchbacks that look similar to the area in the film.
