The route passes two nice mountain lakes and, like the Three Lakes Trail, provides nice views over the surrounding canyon country. 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. Most bikers do the trip with a support vehicle, though well conditioned riders can tackle it unsupported.
Camping is restricted to designated sites and a permit is required.
The route involves a difficult 1,200' climb on either Shafer Trail Road or Mineral Road, depending on the direction you travel. Try to start early in the morning and bring plenty of water. Some also provide shuttle services, and all are good sources of information about riding in the area. 2251 S. Hwy. Rim Tours 1233 South Hwy.
