Started out right outside of town and saw the ancient Indian pictographs on the walls. Road the narrow trails through Schafer approximately thirty miles. Look for Michel Jordan's leap- really cool. See where Thelma and Louise was shot eight hundred feet above the Colorado River. Don't attempt the White Rim unless your in a truck or SUV. Take water and... More

This is a great trip for 4X4's but if you are afraid of heights, don't go. As described in other reviews, the road is narrow, steep and the drop off's are shear cliffs. Having said that, I did go and made it through...however I spent much of the time looking at the cliff wall and not out over the canyon... More

Lovely bike ride and tour guides were brilliant. good food and great fun, wonderful scenery but glad to get back for a long hot shower. Rim tours were great.

This is a beautiful trip in a Jeep-lots of bikers to share the trail with, but a wonderful ride. The scenery is gorgeous,parts of the road are steep and rocky-best to go with at least another 4wd or a group of people.

My husband and I drove the 'support' vehicle for our daughter and her friend who biked the White Rim. We did it in three days but it was intense. We would recommend for people to do it in 4 or 5 days, or longer, to give enough time for extra hikes and trails to explore. Our first night to camp... More

This was different riding than we were used to, and I was not expecting that it would be so challenging as it was. The best thing I can tell you is to shift gears before you from uphill to downhill. There were no major climbs, but it was the short sprinting up the very steep terrain and the very technical... More

We saw our first wild big horn sheep (ram) that ran up the steep canyon slope, crossed in front of our vehicle (4x4), then stopped and stared at us at about 30 feet away. It was absolutely amazing! The sites and vistas and rock arches were not bad either. Would have liked to spend more time visiting more places. Narrow... More

I can't think of a better way to see Canyonlands' Sky Island district than biking the White Rim trail. The riding is moderate for mountain bikes - a little challenging in places and fast and easy in others. I'm sure I could have rode it much faster had I not kept stopping to photograph the many amazing natural features that... More

Let me preface this by saying I am not a person who camps out regularly. This was one of the most enjoyable trips of my life. My wife and I have never done "primitave" camping before, so this was our first time. It was something I will never forget, and i plan on returning in a few years, and do... More

The White Rim Trail had been on our Bucket List for a few years when a friend scored reservations and invited us along. We had camp sites along the way for 4 nights, which was a bit long. I think 3 would be best. The entire 100 miles was full of amazing, jaw dropping views around every corner. If you... More
