Was My Life with the Walter Boys really filmed in Colorado? (filming locations)

My Life with the Walter Boys is the No. 1 show on Netflix as of Dec. 11, 2023. This comes as no surprise because the show is based on a popular Wattpad novel. I’m sure many of the book fans were looking forward to seeing the TV adaptation and are watching it now. Also, there are new viewers who decided to tune in and watch the show because they’re fans of the teen drama genre.

It’s a show following a 15-year-old girl named Jackie Howard. Jackie was living a prim and proper life in Manhattan, New York, before her world got turned upside down. She finds out her entire family has passed away in a tragic car accident and now has to move across the country to Colorado to stay with her mom’s best friend and her family.

As Jackie adjusts to small-town life in rural Colorado, she finds herself falling for two boys. But the kicker is the two boys are her new guardian’s sons… Dun dun duuun! Jackie soon finds herself in a complicated love triangle. But who will Jackie choose? Alex or Cole (Ashby Gentry and Noah LaLonde)?

While watching the teen series, you might start to wonder where exactly the show was filmed. The show mainly takes place in Silver Falls, Colorado, but is this an actual place you can visit? Below, we shared where many of the scenes in My Life with the Walter Boys season 1 were shot.

Is Silver Falls a real town from My Life with the Walter Boys?

No, Silver Falls is not a real town in Colorado. It’s a fictional town that was created by the writers for the show. However, the creative team might’ve gotten the town’s name from the real Silver Falls waterfall, which is located near Pagosa Springs in Colorado. So, while you can’t visit the Silver Falls town from the teen series in real life, you can visit the Silver Falls waterfall in Colorado.

The entire first season was reportedly shot in Alberta, Canada, from March 2022 to August 2022, with Calgary being one of the primary production locations. So, no, the teen series was not filmed in Colorado. The show’s story is just set there.
