 The White Rim Road is a 4wd road that circles most of the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park. Combining it with Shafer Trail Road, the Mineral Road and the park's main scenic drive creates a 110 mile loop that is the preeminent multi-day bike route in the area. You will travel through an endless series of red rock canyon geological wonders and past nice views over the canyons carved by the Green and Colorado Rivers. Mountain bikers need only moderate technical skill, but must be well conditioned as the route covers 110 miles and climbs 3,000' overall. Expect to spend 3-5 days. Most bikers do the trip with a support vehicle, though well conditioned riders can tackle it unsupported. Camping is restricted to undeveloped designated sites and a permit is required. You'll need to contact the Island in the Sky District office (435-259-4712) 6 to 12 months ahead of your planned trip for prime sites and dates in spring and fall. Those in 4wd vehicles should budget 2-4 days for the trip.
