I've put together a long video of this canyon by stitching together footage from mine and Parry's action cams, plus I used additional footage from Bonnie's 360 camera. I love how it turned out because it really gives you a sense of what it's like to be there.

April 19th, 2023.

Wanting to break up the drive back from High Spur, we decided to spend a day exploring Blue John Canyon. Seth and I already did this route years ago. But since it's so beautiful, it was definitely worth doing again. Plus this was the first time in the area for both Bonnie and Parry.

For anyone not already aware, this is the famous canyon where Aron Ralston was stuck for 127 hours and eventually he had to cut off his arm to free himself. I highly recommend watching the movie 127 Hours for anyone who hasn't already seen it.

0:00 Little Blue John Fork
There are 5 upper forks to choose from when going down this canyon. We chose the Little Blue John Fork because it's beautiful and is almost always dry.

6:51 Lower Section of the Main Canyon
Here's where we joined the Main Fork on route to the lower canyon. Climbing down into this lower canyon is easier than it looks.

10:57 127 Hours Location
Here is where Aron Ralston was stuck for 127 hours.

12:14 Most Beautiful Canyon Section
From the 127 Hours location down to the ledge at the big cliff is the most beautiful section of canyon in all of the Blue Johns.

17:35 Climbing Back Up The Lower Canyon
Unless one plans on continuing down the "Full Route" all the way to Horseshoe Canyon, climbing back up the way you came is the best option. It's a bit more difficult than going down, but still lots of fun.

21:54 Climbing Up The West Fork
The West and Main are the only two upper forks that can be climbed. We chose to climb up the West Fork because it ends conveniently close to where we started at the Little Blue John Fork. If going down either the East or Squeeze Fork, one would then likely chose the Main Fork to climb back up.


Note: A special thanks to Parry Loeffler @LifeInATinCan for letting me use some of his video clips.
