Where is Patience, Colorado located?
Table of Contents
Patience, Colorado is not an actual place. Instead it is a fictional town created for both television show and comic book series based on Chris Sheridan’s imagination – one that exists only within these fictional mediums. According to Chris Sheridan’s vision for Patience as described by its creator, Chris Sheridan: an oddball town located somewhere remote in the Rocky Mountains where nobody would live unless they had something they needed to hide – so it doesn’t exist as we know it today.
However, the show was not shot in Colorado at all; rather it was entirely shot in Canada – specifically British Columbia – using different locations around Vancouver and on Vancouver Island to create the look and feel of Patience.
What were some of the locations used to film this show?
Ladysmith is a small town on Vancouver Island, served as one of the main locations used to film this show. Ladysmith served as Patience’s main street and downtown area where several key buildings such as her town hall, health clinic and bar known as ‘The 59’ are situated. Filming took place primarily along 1st Avenue between High and Roberts Streets.
Britannia Beach was another location used to film the show, bordering an inlet of Howe Sound and serving as the exterior for Harry’s cabin by the lake; interior shots were shot on sound stages in Vancouver.
Production utilized two locations within British Columbia’s Sea-to-Sky Corridor – Rainbow Mountain and Pemberton Ice Cap – that were only accessible by helicopter, which presented difficulties when transporting people and equipment to these remote locales.
