Col. Stapp was a physician and the sled rides were done or the track at
Holloman AFB, New Mexico.

If you happen to be in or around Alamogordo, NM, pay a visit to the
Space Museum there. IIRC they also have exhibits about the rocket sleds.

AND you can try your hand at landing the Space Shuttle simulator.

That first rocket sled track shot looks like it might be the track up on the mesa, along a line from Parowan Ut to Colorado City Ut.
It looks like the Pine Valley Mts in the backround.
We've flown over it many times.

Nothing like the USAF to max those test pilots guys out.
