I joined this trip late in the planning as the final member of the 6 FJ crew to travel all 93 miles of the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands National Park. With Old Sarge being the trail leader, we set out on a great adventure. During our travels, we stopped as often as possible to enjoy and savor in the surroundings.
For most of us, this was completely new. The views included arches, overlooks, buttes, towers, rivers and of course a white rimmed canyon so named for its white edged rock that surrounds the rim.
The start of the trail has you entering the canyon via the Shafer switchbacks which is very daunting with traffic traveling both directions. Almost every car capable of being driven down the road could make it that far. After that it got dicey and that was great- no more head on traffic.
Thanks to the following forum members, wives and daughter for sharing these moments with me
