Everyone saying "but the Shining took place in Colorado" is correct, but this opening shot was filmed in Glacier National Park, Montana. The Timberline Lodge in Oregon was used for exterior shots. The rest was filmed in England. I don't think any of the movie was filmed in Colorado.

Kinda like how most films set in Maine aren’t actually filmed here

Just googled it and apparently some of it was filmed in an apartment complex in Colorado, but yeah, most of it was in London, an airport outside London, an American legion post in SoCal, and Glacier NP.
