Location of visitor center

A little over an hour into the movie there is a segment that takes place in and around a Corps of Engineers visitor center. There are no credits to support this, but the visitor center is in Cochiti Lake, NM. I know this because in the early 1980s I lived in the government compound where this visitor's center is located. I recognized every view from the scenes in this part of the movie, as I saw them every day.
The movie credits list the New Mexico locations of Albuquerque and Taos. Not entirely true! The close-up of the sign on the fence outside the visitor center has the Corps castle at the top and in fine print on the bottom, "Albuquerque District," but it is not in Albuquerque.

Cool! Thanx for that info!

When they were there, it took me out of the movie a bit because I thought about as a kid how much I enjoyed visitor centers like these when my family traveled around the country 
