White Rim Road — 72 - 100 miles, 2 to 4 days
Canyonlands National Park, Utah
The only sound is the rush of wind and the ice shifting in your filled-to-the-brim cooler, overflowing with food, water, and provisions (snacks) to last three days. Dropping off the mesa and into the White Rim backcountry is a steep and sharp warning that Southern Utah is a rough and rugged land; tread lightly.
The White Rim Road, more often referred to and accurately described, the White Rim Trail, is a 72-mile traverse across the expansive White Rim sandstone plateau. National Park signs warning travelers of the extreme terrain ahead often outnumber travelers.
