Twin Peaks Location – Jerry Is High and Lost

Jerry Horne yelling into his iPhone

For the opening scene of Twin Peaks – Part 7 on Showtime, Jerry Horne is seen looking dazed and confused while sitting in the woods. This scene, like his appearance watching Dr. Amp in the woods from Part 5, was shot in Olallie State Park outside North Bend, Washington. It took five visits to Weeks Falls Trail to eventually find the two locations from this episode.

WHERE IS THE LOCATION WHERE JERRY IS HIGH AND LOST IN THE WOODS?

Thanks to the newly release Behind the Curtain videos on the Twin Peaks – From Z to A Collection, we learn that this scene was shot on October 5, 2015. This footage also helped me locate the first part of this scene with Jerry sitting in the woods.

The easiest way to find this spot is to look for the green metal thing imbedded along the trail. Then take the trail back just a few steps.

This image helped me identify the tree stump that I knew I had seen before during previous trips to Olallie State Park in fall 2019.

The moss covered tree toward the right side of the image also appears to the right of Jerry. I stood in the spot where Jerry most likely was during filming.

Can we discuss for a moment the clapboard for this scene? A420!!! Priceless.

JERRY’S VIEW IN THE WOODS

Now that we’ve established Jerry’s position in the woods, let’s look at his point-of-view.

The scene cuts to a forest with plenty of green vegetation. Notice the tree on the far left side of the episode image. Now compared that tree with the tree to on the far left of the bottom image.  Looks like a match to me.

The forest scene was shot near the following coordinates 47° 26′ 5.982″ N 121° 39′ 5.58″ W. I happened to stumble upon it while visiting Olallie State Park for the third time during my September 2019 trip.

The scene cuts back to Jerry looking even more lost. I love seeing the behind-the-scenes footage of Jerry on the monitor.

Jerry takes out his iPhone (clearly it’s not the 1990s anymore).

He calls his brother Benjamin Horne. He tells brother Ben that someone stole his car, and is surprised when Ben repeats what Jerry said.

“I think I’m high,” exclaims Jerry. I attempted to recreate the shot (not an easy thing to do when making a solo trip).

Make shift tripod using fallen tree branch

Here’s my behind-the-scenes photo of my makeshift tripod. My Canon 5D lens broke during this trip so I had to use my Sony RX-100. I didn’t bring my normal tripod so I created a makeshift one using a fallen branch (guess being an Eagle Scout finally paid off).

The scene ends with Ben realizing on the phone what is happening to his brother. Jerry responds, “I don’t know where I am !” Poor Jerry.
