Part of the White Rim, which is basically a dirt road. More about riding the entire thing, because it is long and has stunning views.

Permits are required and available from Park HQ. Multi-day permits have a wait list if self-organized.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Black Rating: Advanced obstacles exist, some trail obstructions.

Expect long sections of mild off-camber, exposure and deep sand. The (2) major mid-trail climbs will be very challenging for all adaptive bikes in both directions. They are steeper and looser ccw. Recommended to run 2.6”+ / LOW psi in drive tires if possible. Climb outs may be very challenging if roads are wet.
