Comment: Holy moley what a day! We joined a rather large group (10+) and got 5 AM start to set up the car spot at the Grand Gallery trailhead. Actual start to the canyon from the Little Bluejohn trailhead at 7 AM +/-. LT and I spent nearly a hour at the first rappel due to our crowd due to the number of people. We worked our way through the canyon admiring all of the beauty that Lower Bluejohn entails. This sculpted slots of this canyon are truly underrated! On the last rappel, we narrowly avoided a rope break due to a core shot that emerged in my rope. We repaired and finished the last rappel. The exit hike went past the Grand Galley section of Canyonlands NP. Exquisite finish - especially since LT brought wine for the art gallery! There was quite a bit of desert walking on the exit. Fortunately, we had our own ways of staying entertained for the long hike. After a long and eventful hike from the Gallery, we got to the cars and rode away to the sunset. What a day!
