Great photos thanks for sharing.
I was on the trail on 9/10 and got caught in a rainstorm about 15 miles from the CO/UT boarder. That section of the trail was nasty and we had to retreat to Naturita CO for the night.

That trail looks NASTY muddy!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Is the trail overall easy? The type that any high clearance could do? Assuming no rain.

Time to hit the ICONIC White Rim Trail. This trail is full of epic views and well worth the effort to get permits.

I always find it interesting to see trails I have taken thru others eyes.

I find it interesting too. Hope I did it some justice!

Day 3 of White Rim was fairly short. I believe we were back in Canyonlands around 11-11:30, which worked out great for this. It was extremely busy in Moab, the fact we got back early made it possible to get a campsite.

Great pics! I didn’t see any big horn sheep though. That’s a really fun trail, “The Airport” sucked to spend the night at though, little windy haha.
