WHITE RIM TRAIL: The big CRASH! Travel the whole 100 MILE loop in one day by 4x4 Jeep and motorcycle
100 miles of adventure, 160 kilometers of challenges. Welcome to the White Rim Road. Travel Along a green river, breathtaking canyons, over steep mountains, through a national park, and find a remote and challenging ride you will always remember. We experienced heat, a terrible fall, and endless views, that burnt themselves in our memories forever. Join the ride in this video with a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and a Yamaha Tenere 700.
Your guide to the White Rim Trail:
- To Access the White Rim Trail the city Moab is a perfect place to stay
- You need to apply for a permit for the trail in advance. If you want to split up the ride you have to book a campsite several weeks ahead - but if you are not a big planner you can apply for a day permit for the trail early in the morning a day in advance. First come first serves.
- You need a 4x4 vehicle or a motorcycle with offroad tires to ride the trail
- Plan 12 hours travel time (without calculating your stops) if you want to do all of the White Rim Trail in one day.
- Most people ride the White Rim Trail clockwise, starting with the Shafer Trail Road. But we had decided to drive it counter clockwise - because we were told that the most difficult parts of the trail are in the first half of our direction - and we wanted to them as rested as possible.
Here are the Highlights of the Trail:
- Mineral Bottom is the easiest part of the trail. Enjoy the first amazing views from the Mineral Bottom switchbacks!
- After a while the trail enters Canyonlands National Park. Over 330,000 acres are filled with arches, buttes, mesas, canyons, hiking trails, dirt roads, campgrounds, and overlooks
- The Bottom of Hardscrabble Hill is quite sandy
- The climb to Hardscrabble Hill is steep and narrow - one of the more difficult parts of the trail! Watch out for oncoming traffic!
- The next 25 kilometers you see all the things that you came here to see. Canyon after canyon, one amazing view chasing the other. You will drive by Coleman Canyon Viewpoint, Candlestick Viewpoint, Soda Springs Basin Viewpoint.
- After Soda Springs Basin you will start to drive up Murphy Hogback - and the ride will become much more technical. This is probably the most difficult part of the whole white rim road (and the part where we crashed with our motorcycle badly!)
- After Murphy Hogback the trail takes you along several scenic canyons again. The Monument Basin Canyon, Gooseberry Canyon and South Fork of Buck Canyon. And from here you will be looking out over the Colorado River for the rest of the trip.
- You are close to the end of the White Rim Road, when you spot the Shafer Trail to the top of the Island in the Sky. The Shafer Trail is a 28 kilometer long road and even though it has countless steep switchbacks, it is one of the most easy and fastest parts of the white rim trail. There are even plenty of pullouts to allow for an oncoming vehicle to pass. But you should defiantly not be scared of heights, as there are no guardrails or any other barriers.

Thank you guys for all your nice comments about the recovery of my travel partner. He is already much better, but even weeks (or meanwhile months) after the crash he still has some pain and his ankle is still swollen. I can’t urge anyone reading this enough to ALWAYS wear proper motorcycle boots + gear. I can’t even imagine what would have happened with his ankle if he would not have worn those boots. Forget about all the lovely customizations of your motorcycles - always invest in proper gear first. 🙏🏻

Yes yes, recently ended up half under a truck, my right foot jammed under the bike, nothing broken , my adventure tough boots definitely prevented very serious damage to my ankle, can’t emphasise enough to everyone to always wear protection, money well spent, you will never regret it. The US landscape is truly remarkable almost other worldly, keep the videos coming for all these armchair frustrated adventures confined due to the terrible Covid, hopefully there is some light at the end of the tunnel here in Thailand and we can start to ride further afield again.

I did the White Rim a few years ago in a rented Jeep. Total respect for someone who can do it on a motorcycle. Long day of steep areas, deep powder sand, rocks, and washboard.
Not only did you see something most Americans never see, but I bet most don’t even know exist. Again, the cinematography was outstanding. Best wishes for your travel partner.

Saddened to see the crash. I am a nurse, so I am sensitive to injuries of any kind. It can take quite some time to heal, but the body is remarkably resilient, so be patient. You can take some anti-inflammatories for the swelling, which will reduce your pain. Turmeric is available at a health food store or get a prescribed medication. Beautiful video as always.

Excellent video of this very challenging and scenic trail and bravo for your group attempting. However, for most people it's just too long, arduous and tiring. If it were less than 4 hrs long not 12hrs then it would be a lot more acceptable and enjoyable. Hope your friend has fully recovered after a year.

I agree, it gets really long. That’s why a lot of people split the journey in two or more days and book campgrounds on the way. We would have done the same but you have to be a bit more early (like book it months in advance…) to find a camping spot in the national parks during high season. But I can highly recommend one stop if you drive the trail! It’s as well super nice to stay out there in nature 😍

I think he just loves riding motorcycles 😂😂😂 This question is not so easy to answer - from difficulty of the trail probably yes, but I struggle a lot with very hot weather and get very dizzy and close to collapsing easily. So at this time of the year with that hot weather it would have been a real struggle for me (plus I think the difficulty of the white rim trail is not only the actual trail, but if you do it in one day the length of the ride. No matter what your skills are, being 12 hours on a motorcycle in crazy heat is just super demanding). So short answer: difficulty of the single parts of the trail is fine, but considering the whole ride it’s a tough one! Funnily I didn’t have so crazy hot weather on my world trip - there were only a few days where temperature was around 40 degrees. Maybe as well because I was mostly so high up in the mountains 😅

First, I hope your traveling partner has fully recovered from the fall. Second, I suppose everyone is fine right now. Thank you for sharing with us another amazing video, and now the ending... A big stage, huge red-trimmed curtains... Three knocks echo in such an immeasurable setting. Gradually, the curtains melt into a blue flecked with little white robes. The eagle is in the air... looking far down, in such scenic land, a river painting the edges of these green robes, hail those who dare to defy the silence of the gods... Dust and stones are carried on such a path steep, tight loops narrow the path... The gods determined that one of the adventurers would be left without a mount, would suffer more than one moon. Legend has it that when you visit the canyons, never forget to ask permission and greet the eagle so that it does not wake up the gods, for their wrath will be felt... Good evening!... The best recovering for your partner travel. I wich the best for all-inclusive to Lea. The best weekend for all.

OH NO!!! This looks like a very serious injury 🤦🏻♀️ The moment you swapped I was asking myself if his foot / ankle ever fully recovered from the injury in Africa. Hope he’s made a full recovery by now 🙏🏻 Also, these roads 🤯 Thank god you rented the 4x4 and didn’t attempt it on two bikes …
I could never do this with my Honda FIT 2013. It is the only car I own. But at least I spent a couple of nights in Moab, spending the day up in the Arches where I climbed the trail to the Delicate Arch. 10:36: The fear of oncoming cars was mentioned. Yes, that is perpetually my dread on a narrow road like this. As for +40C, I had no choice to drive in this heat back in August 2017 because I was headed for Wyoming for the total eclipse of the sun. At least Wyoming was mild, perhaps +33C, but one has to cross the California and Nevada deserts first. Ending: Thank you for all your work, plus the risks. I have never been seriously injured on a trip, but once I risked death because my cell phone disappeared on a tight narrow mountain road where a U-turn was not possible. And the cell phone was not in the car, but I could not stop for my paranoid fear of being intentionally rear-ended by an angry mountain boy. I drifted off the road once into the bushes, but not off of a cliff. And all of this due to a lost cell phone that I was sitting on top of. It had fallen out of my wallet and ended up under my butt.

Thank you so much! Yes, the white rim trail is just stunning.
Great video of the area. I drove up the Shaffer switchbacks in April of 2018 and it is definitely not a road for the faint of hart. But it is definitely a beautiful drive.

It is, and the whole white rim trail is so stunning! Would have loved the day if the injury of my travel Partner would not have overshadowed the joy of the trip a little.

@@Got2Go I hope he heals up soon. Such injury's tend to take a long time to heal. I am so sorry he is having to deal with such a injury.

He had some teared ligaments - and still has a bit pain. Those ankle injuries just take forever to heal…

Wow, such incredible views. Thank you for the video.
Ok. Happy to know your travel partner is better. I have always thought you are a dangerous woman behind a pretty smile. Thanks for letting me know Utah and surrounding area. Excellent videos, as usual. I noticed a new interest in people and food, well done.
Your videos are spectacular! Thank you for sharing with us!
Next time I’m in Moab, I’ve got to do the White Rime trail. Enjoyed your video.
