My wife was diagnosed with and completed treatment for breast cancer this year and we decided to celebrate by driving the White Rim Road in Utah. White Rim Road is a 100 mile 4x4 trail through the Canyonlands backcountry, with lots of rough terrain and some white-knuckle cliffside ascents. If you've been to the Island in the Sky district - it starts at that crazy looking switchback you can see from the visitor center, and that's pretty tame compared to some of the other parts. This was the view from one of our campsites, looking out over the rugged country toward the La Sal Mountains. I put together a trip report on my site if you're interested in more of a casual look at the area.

White Rim Road?

I love it. I feel like this is where you'd meet your spirit animal.

Gorgeous pic of the La Salles

Yeah. Super glad we went after thanksgiving. We were totally alone the whole time.

When we went, some years ago, the only people we met were on bicycles, and they were doing thee whole thing in one day! Glad you had a great trip, bound to have provided many wonderful memories...

I've camped in that exact same spot! Such a fun trip! Congrats to you and your wife!

For sure, one of the most beautiful photos I have seen this year 2022.

Incredible shot.

Some roomates and I did a 3-man convoy on White Rim back in May. It was absolutely breathtaking. Cant recommend that trail enough. We camped at Whitecrack and then Murphys Hogback the next night. Such a stunning place

Gooseberry was gorgeous, but wish we would have asked about cancellations and gone straight to White Crack instead. Permits were fully booked back in August and we were the only ones out there at the end of November. No fresh tracks anywhere!

Looks like Canyonlands NP to me. Probably my favorite park outside of Zion

Damn. I wanna be there 😍

I’m an atheist and I met God. This place is that breathtaking. I think about my trip out there pretty much every day.

My family and I did Utah's mighty 5 over summer and Canyonlands was my favorite.

This pic is amazing

Southern UT is a dangerously beautiful place. Biked White Rim once many years ago. Unbelievable beauty and a feeling of being a small piece of something so much larger than we are. You can't help but just be awed to silence by Canyonlands. And then you try to describe it to someone who hasn't been and every word is inadequate. Congrats to both of you.

The sky is so beautiful!

This looks like it's come straight up out of Horizon: Zero Dawn or Horizon: Forbidden West! Beautiful picture

I’m guessing the temperatures would be much more manageable in November? Was headed there in august but switched to Yellowstone so as to not catch fire..

Nice shot!

We had calm sunny days but temps dropped well below freezing overnight.

Shit. I'm in Utah. And the Sun's going down. Shiiiittt.

Beautiful shot 😍

I was gonna say this looks like Canyonlands given that view of the La Sal mountains in the background. Beautiful shot!

Love the distant mountains! Great depth in the scene.
