Blanco Canyon location


Does anyone know which one of the filming locations is the site for the fictional Blanco Canyon? That is assuming it's fictional since it doesn't appear in filming locations.

Red Rock Canyon State Park, California was the location for scenes of the fictional Blanco Canyon. http://www.orvisranch.com/bigcountry/index.shtml

I've long wanted to find out the location of the tight winding canyon sequence (some of it filmed from above) in the final scenes of the movie where Hanassey and Terrill have their showdown. Apparently that is either Last Chance Canyon or Jawbone Canyon in Red Rock Canyon SP according to the discussion here a few years back: http://www.allwatchers.com/Board.asp?listpage=2&BoardID=6284.
Some photos of Last Chance Canyon here: http://inyo.coffeecup.com/site/redrock/lastchancecanyon6.html. It seems that the narrow canyon section seen in that final showdown is a part of either Last Chance or Jawbone Cyns which is hard to get to at least these days requiring a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
