Where do I start! This route has so many fantastic views it's hard to put it in words. Countless photo ops will keep you on the trail for as long as you'd like. I spent 6 1/2 hours on a trip tha I thought would last maybe 3 to 4 hours. Just do it!

Travelled 14 miles of this trail from the junction of Schaeffer Canyon and back. When you are in Canyonlands and looking into the Canyon you really get a perspective of the depth of the canyon. Once we were down on the White Rim Trail you could look up and all the way down to the bottom of the canyon and... More

So incredibly beautiful. We like how the scenery changes a bit from place to place. The campsite may be the prettiest in all the land! So neat to see Mesa Arch from a completely different perspective. If you like the outdoors, this ride should be on your bucket list

We started out on Schaeffer Canyon and then went onto White Rim. Long and bumpy, but great scenery. Lot of places to get out and view surroundings.

Started out right outside of town and saw the ancient Indian pictographs on the walls. Road the narrow trails through Schafer approximately thirty miles. Look for Michel Jordan's leap- really cool. See where Thelma and Louise was shot eight hundred feet above the Colorado River. Don't attempt the White Rim unless your in a truck or SUV. Take water and... More

This is a great trip for 4X4's but if you are afraid of heights, don't go. As described in other reviews, the road is narrow, steep and the drop off's are shear cliffs. Having said that, I did go and made it through...however I spent much of the time looking at the cliff wall and not out over the canyon... More

This is a beautiful trip in a Jeep-lots of bikers to share the trail with, but a wonderful ride. The scenery is gorgeous,parts of the road are steep and rocky-best to go with at least another 4wd or a group of people.

My husband and I drove the 'support' vehicle for our daughter and her friend who biked the White Rim. We did it in three days but it was intense. We would recommend for people to do it in 4 or 5 days, or longer, to give enough time for extra hikes and trails to explore. Our first night to camp... More

This was different riding than we were used to, and I was not expecting that it would be so challenging as it was. The best thing I can tell you is to shift gears before you from uphill to downhill. There were no major climbs, but it was the short sprinting up the very steep terrain and the very technical... More
