Blue John Canyon- 127 Hours

We hiked Blue John Canyon the day before "127 Hours" the major motion picture was released in theatres. It was an amazing experience, and fascinating to see the actual rock that pinned Aron Ralston for 127 hours.

what part of Utah is the place blue John canyon?

[utahtravel]

@tekerz11 It is near Canyonlands National Park, just outside the Maze district and Horseshoe canyon.

Great story. Great movie. I’m surprised this only has 655 views. In this clip when they show the actual boulder that pinned Aron’s arm what is that on the right side of the boulder (2:10)? Did they make a fake arm to show the spot where Aron was stuck or is it something else? It would be great to visit this place.

@RobGUtah Yeah it was on the right side. In our video it is just a rock that possibly looks like the arm. The arm is gone now.
