127 Hours – Utah

All right, so no one wants to have to chop off a body part in order to see a beautiful film location, and you won’t have to when visiting Moab, Utah. 127 Hours is the harrowing true story of Aron Ralston, who became trapped in a canyon with his arm pinned under a boulder. Facing certain death, he decides to do the unthinkable, and cut off part of his own arm in order to escape.

Utah is famous for its fabulous red rock formations and canyons, especially in Monument Valley, and has been used in many, many movies. The Lone Ranger, Star Trek, Mission Impossible II, Thelma and Louise, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade are just a few of the titles.

Those who visit Moab and want to see exactly where Aron Ralston got trapped should head to the Blue John Canyon. Also, the beautiful underground cave pool used in the movie is not located in the canyon – it is called the Homestead Crater, and is located at the Homestead Resort and Spa, where you can stay and swim inside the crater.

Of course, it goes without saying, if you are traveling into the desert, don’t make the same mistake as the star of this movie and go alone! You’d hate to find yourself stuck between a rock and a hard place, even in a beautiful spot like Utah.
