Summary:
Just got back from doing the White Rim trail this week. It is an epic ride that anybody can do. It only has 3 big climbs and the rest is rolling terrain with fabulous views everywhere. We did it in three day . 1st day 30 miles to Gooseberry camp,2nd day 40 miles to Hard Scrabble Camp and 30 Miles back to the visitors center.

Recommended Route:
The pnly thing I cna say that others have not is that you will need to bring extra padded riding shorts. The trail can be very rough and it does take its toll on your ass. I dont care how often you bike it will take its toll on your bottom!! Bring your camera because there are numerous Photo ops with drop dead scenery. We went from the Visitors center down Shaffer Trail and clock wise back up Mineral Road/Horse Thief and back to the visitors center. Toatal mileage from point to point was 100.3 miles and I added the White Crack trail that added 3 miles as well.

Summary:
Did it as The White Rim Century ride early this May. Temperatures were in the 50s. It took 13 hours and I drank 150 oz. of energy drink and ate 2 power bars, 10 gu packs and 1/2 pound of red licorice. I enjoyed the ride and would recommend it as a one day trip to anyone who is reasonably fit and is smart enough to keep eating so they don't bonk. You won't need to do a shuttle at the end of the ride.

Recommended Route:
Did it counter clockwise starting at the first parking lot on Mineral Bottom Road.

Summary:
WHITE RIM IS NOT VERY TECHNICAL, HOWEVER, THE VIEWS ARE AMAZING. THE ROAD FROM THE PARKING AREA (SCHAFFER ROAD) IS VERY STEEP GOING DOWN AND SEEMS TO GET STEEPER GOING UP! WHITE RIM TRAIL IS ACTUALLY A ROAD AND IS USED BY 4X4 TRUCKS AND MOTORCYCLES SO WATCH OUT! MOST OF THE ROAD IS DIRT WITH SOME GRAVEL AND ROCKY SECTIONS BUT THE ELEVATION IS THE REAL KILLER. IF YOU ARE NOT READY FOR HIGH ELEVATIONS...GET READY.

Recommended Route:
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ABOVE.

Summary:
Although only 5%-10% of the entire ride is what you would call remotely technical, it's definitely offset by the jaw-dropping views at every corner. It has to be the most scenic ride in North America. Top 5 for sure. We did the trail in 3 days, which was more than enough time to finish the loop and do a few side trips/hikes along the way. I would only recommend four days if you really wanted to take it easy. Make sure you go over your bike thoroughly before you take on this trail. I snapped my seat post in half on the 2nd day and ended up riding out in the support vehicle. It was brutal!!! Now, all I can think about is getting back there this fall to finish it out. Make sure that before you take a dirt nap, you hit this ride!!

Recommended Route:
Clockwise- Hardscrabble & Potato Bottom campsites

Summary:
Epic adventure into the some of the most gorgeous back country God has ever created. Jeep support makes this a trip that can be great for both the rider(s) and non-rider(s). I did this a few years ago and it was extra special because my buddies dad was able to enjoy the whole thing as jeep support -- the whole father/kid bonding thing where there would have been no way his dad could ever ride with my buddy, plus his pops is a great cook!
