A mountain biker's rites of passage - The White Rim Trail
(trip #832)5 days in Moab, UT ($$) — A must in any mountain biker's rites of passage is the White Rim Trail. Riding on a sandstone bench through a land called "Island in the Sky" you will pass Mussleman Arch, Monument Basin, Turks head, Candlestick Tower, and White Crack, a perch 1000 feet above the confluence of the Green and Colorado rivers in the center of Canyonlands ... some believe the center of the universe. If you only had time for one mountain bike trip in your life, this should be the one.
