<P> Pale Rider was primarily filmed in the Boulder Mountains and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area in central Idaho , just north of Sun Valley in late 1984 . The opening credits scene featured the jagged Sawtooth Mountains south of Stanley . Train - station scenes were filmed in Tuolumne County , California , near Jamestown . Scenes of a more established Gold Rush town ( in which Eastwood 's character picks up his pistol at a Wells Fargo office ) were filmed in the real Gold Rush town of Columbia , also in Tuolumne County , California . </P>
