White Rim Trail Bike Adventure
Bicycle trip to Canyonlands White Rim Trail, southern Utah. Our trip to the White Rim Trail began with a exciting start: Moab was being threatened by a fire that caused our hotel to be evacuated. Fortunately, things improved from there. It was around 36°F when we started riding our bike down the Shafer Trail. The sun was shining and we warmed up and enjoyed a great day. Musselman Arch and Airport Butte were good stopping points for lunch and snacks before camping at Gooseberry. After a freezing night, we ate and warmed up before starting on another day of bicycling. We passed Monument Basin and visited the incredibly scenic White Crack. Then we made our way to Candlestick campground for the next evening. Candlestick was extremely scenic for sunset and sunrise. On our last day, we traveled next to the Green River much of the time before finally ending our great adventure back atop the Island in the Sky of Canyonlands. 3 days, 2 nights. 7 bikes, 2 support vehicles. 9 people, great stories.
