Outside of the Blue Pool I thought the movie was very accurate in regards to the Roost Area .... but it's the Blue Pool that has the interest of all the tourists.

Pretty much a broad cross-section of people interested.....
A high percentage of US military personal have expressed interest for some reason.

Christian, you probably would have loved it if those girls were lying on the side of the pool naked, basking in that blue light. :lol8: Even with the pool and academy award nominations some think it was just so... so.
It amazes me how many people come so far to see the Wave after it was shown in a movie. There has to be something just as good or far better in their countries but for some reason, that little spot shown in a movie is special to them and they have to come and see it.
Having a bad day/week there Tom man?Quote:

And of course, now I realize, it is actually in Midway, right?

Yeah that pool is in Midway, a long, long ways from the real canyon. no such thing in Blue John for those of you who watched the flick.
Just think we had 200 people 75 feet above and just yards from where Aron got stuck and we had a full course meal catering tent, craft service snacks on location and supplies heli'd in every hour or two, not to mention a paramedic tent. That is a world of difference from when he was there stuck alone. I guarantee our 5 days there were just a tad more comfortable than his

Huh. guess his position of authority trumps my 19 years climbing experience on my own personal safety:angryfire:Quote:

I gave in an watched it tonight and damn, I really liked it. Makes me want to find that pool... :haha:
Read the book, enjoyed the movie.
Some may have already seen this, posted at trail heads in the area:

Love the poster! That is too funny!
Wayne County not so good with geography. I know the hedonist dens of Park City & Salt Lake City SEEM like they are a really long way away, and I guess 164 miles is somewhat like 300 miles...Quote:
