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

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.

THE last trail run of the trip, which happened to the be the hardest trail run. We decided to tackle Top of the World to get that iconic picture at the top. This trail was super super tough to run though.

Did you burn more than a tank of gaso on Rimrocker?

 

We filled up in Montrose and we were good to Moab. I think I put 11 or 12 gallons in the tank in Moab.
