The White Rim trail is world renowned not only for its beauty but also it's incredible biking terrain. The trail circles the region between the Colorado and Green Rivers above the confluence, and passes by some of Canyonland's most spectacular views.
A must in any mountain biker's rites of passage is the White Rim Trail. Riding on a sandstone bench through a land called 'Island in the Sky' you will pass Mussleman Arch, Monument Basin, Turks head, Candlestick Tower, and White Crack, a perch 1000 feet above the confluence of the Green and Colorado rivers in the center of Canyonlands ... some believe the center of the universe. If you only had time for one mountain bike trip in your life, this should be the one.
One of the advantages of a bike trip is the flexibility of the daily itinerary. It can vary widely from one trip to the next based on group desires, Mother Nature, and courtesy for other groups in the area. This typical itinerary illustrates a bike trip through the Island in the Sky District. The White Rim itinerary will vary with the time of season, weather conditions on the trip and scheduling of campsites.
