I've been brainstorming places to escape to that aren't too far away and a fairly inexpensive excursion. An outdoors activity is a must, like hiking. I love hiking. I'm not so much a hardcore canyoneer (although how cool would that be??) but I like to get out there and make that hike count. This is sort of a dream of mine, and that is to hike in Little Bluejohn Canyon in Utah. Yes, this is the canyon that Aaron Ralston was trapped in and had to cut off his arm in order to survive (if you haven't read his book or seen the movie 127 Hours I highly recommend both!). I love Utah. Next to Montana and Colorado it is one of my top places to do all of my outdoor recreations.
If you don't know any of the history behind Little Bluejohn Canyon, its actually quite interesting. You can find a good little blurb about it
here. Its actually a site for Aaron's mountaineering skills and his story of survival in Bluejohn Canyon. It is just beautiful.
Can you imagine hiking and crawling through rocks like this?
