White Rim Trail, Canyonlands National Park (August 20, 2018)

From the top of the Island in the Sky mesa, we saw a red Jeep far below traversing switchbacks on the 100-mile White Rim Road. The road loops around and below the Island in the Sky mesa top.  Four-wheel drive trips usually take two or three days and mountain bike trips usually take three or four days. The road is described as "moderately difficult" for high-clearance, four-wheel drive vehicles and--due to steep, exposed sections and switchbacks--"challenging" for mountain bikers. Indeed!
