| chiker | Nontechnical route  Date Climbed: Nov 25, 2008 | |
| I took the easy, nontechnical routes since I just happened to be in the area and didn't have any gear with me. I went in through the cross-country West E/E route, and exited up the West route, which has a short 6 foot chute to clamber up. I will definitely be coming back in the future and do the rappels. The weather was great--t-shirt weather down in the canyon while campsite up by the buttes was cold. | |

| Sometime in 2004. Down lil' BJ, up main then back down to lower BJ and into Horseshoe Canyon. Pictographs are great ! A very long day though. don't think all the slogging was worth it for the very short (but pretty) lower slot. | |

| I thought it was a fun canyon, did the main fork and exited at the end of the narrows. It only takes a few hours and is very pretty. | |

| Very enjoyable canyon. We rappelled and downclimbed the first section. I would probably downclimb the entire thing next time. The shortcut to the slot was very nice and enjoyable in the early spring. | |

| Descended the east fork, explored the Ralston slot to the big rappel, then climbed out via the main fork. A very ho-hum canyon, though the climb out was interesting. The history, too, of course. | |

| mountaingazelle | Bluejohn Canyon | |
| May 29, 2004 - I have to admit that I became interested in Bluejohn Canyon after reading about the Ralston accident. We descended the Main Fork Bluejohn Canyon. It had just rained a week before so we had to wade through a few pools of water. It is a very nice canyon. April 24, 2005 - We entered the West Fork and did the main exit into Horseshoe Canyon. It was a drought year so the pool at the end of the big rappel was mostly dry. The weather was warm and the hike out was not very fun with the sun shining on us. | |

| I've been there several times via several routes. I first noticed the canyon while hiking up from Horseshoe in the early 90's. At the blocking falls I noticed "hey, it looks like there might be a slot canyon up there". A few years later I returned with a WMC group and we completed the entire canyon Main Fork to Horseshoe and found out that it was a great slot canyon complex. I told some people about it (including a writer), but little did I know that it would become one of the most famous and popular canyons in the state of Utah. | |
