I just saw this movie the other night, and thought it was pretty well done. Danny Boyle, of Slum Dog fame, is an interesting director. Lots of neat camera angles and cinematography. Southern Utah is really spectacular. (Zion and Bryce Canyons are on my to do list.) Aron Ralston is a pretty incredible person, despite by his own admission being pretty dumb for not telling anyone where he was headed. (Bluejohn Canyon). I really enjoyed the soundtrack as well, especially the Bill Withers tune "Lovely Day". Sorry if this has already been posted before, as this movie has been out for some time.

Someday it may come back to bite me, but so far it hasn't. Ditto here. However - I'm not usually one to go off trail. At least not intentionally. I was at Canyonlands NP once, although I didn't really do any hiking that lasted for more than 15 minutes. It's a great place, and I'm surprised that visitation numbers are so low.
