Experience Bluejohn Canyon as featured in the movie 127 Hours. Challenge yourself on this epic adventure that includes narrow slots, daring down-climbs, and awe-inspiring rappels.

 

EXPERIENCE:

On this canyoneering adventure, we’ll make our way through Bluejohn Canyon, a physically challenging canyon that includes tight and narrow slots, exciting potholes, daring down-climbs and awe-inspiring rappels. This fun, technical slot canyon has some the most beautiful slots in the spectacular Robbers Roost Wilderness made famous by another Hollywood epic, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid. This distinct canyon system includes three separate forks that can be enjoyed as a single-day or multi-day adventure.

You may also have heard of 127 Hours, a biographical survival drama novel turned movie. It depicts the story of Aron Ralston, an American climber and adventurer, who spent 127 hours in one of Bluejohn’s canyon with his arm jammed beneath a rock. He eventually escaped by amputating his own arm before making his way through the rest of the canyon to seek help.

Not only is this trip rich in beauty and nature, but it’s also incredibly rich in culture and history. Your guide will ensure you have an epic, fun, and safe journey through the canyons — and we promise you won’t be trapped for 127 hours! You’ll get the opportunity to climb, rappel and scramble through the different spots while soaking in canyon country at its finest.
