Island in the Sky - White Rim Road - Nov. 8 - 13th, 2011

Thanks so much everyone, glad you like the photos!

Off season is the best...you get the place to yourself (other than the kangaroo rats)

I agree, more peaceful :elkgrin:

I really like the stuffed animals, give a real bit of fun to the shots. So does the trail go all the way through now? I would like to do the White Rim again but I want to wait until it is repaired

With girls and stuffed animals, my husband was feeling outnumbered lol! The Mineral Bottom section is fully repaired now, and was in good shape. I'm glad we waited until we could do the whole loop

...Do you happen to remember what fees you paid at Canyonlands?

 

[aeon]

We paid $40 total


A $10 entrance fee, and a $30 backcountry permit fee.

...Thanks for answering so quickly...From what I had read, the back country permit is good for up to 3 vehicles...

Great photos. I read on some sites that wide vehicles are not recommended, do you think pulling an offroad trailer is out of the question? I've got a tentrax.

I believe that is correct...

The road is narrow with some tight switchbacks in places, but I would think any of the off-road type trailers should be good to go

what a joy to read and enjoy the pictures, Thank you for sharing them with us.. Do you have a lift on your Tacoma?

 

[Barriga]

Thanks for sharing the pics! We're planning to hit up Moab in April. Can you tell me who makes that roof rack? Also, what kind of rack do you have in the bed for the RTT?

Thanks guys!

Do you have a lift on your Tacoma?

Yep, she's lifted

Can you tell me who makes that roof rack? Also, what kind of rack do you have in the bed for the RTT?

The roof rack is a Baja Rack with a DIY custom fairing. Bed rack is a Frontrunner Bakkie rack, but my husband had to heavily modify the bed rails etc. to get everything to work the way we wanted.

Here's the link to his build thread:

Is the trail fairly well labeled as far as hikes/lookout points are concerned?

For the most part, but it helps to get a map from the visitor's center
