One of my favorite videos on White Rim Trail that I've seen while doing research on it. It's nice to see people that aren't experts tackling a trail. Youtube is full of people with crazy builds and years of experience, so it's nice to get a more grounded perspective from normal folks.

This is an absolutely fantastic video but I will NEVER be driving that rim trail. So grateful that I got to see it through your lens. Thanks for sharing!

White Rim Trail is on my and my wife’s bucket-list. Great video.👍

Great Video! Made me laugh when you hit the running board step on the driver's side. Haha. We will be going in October, so this was helpful to watch. Thanks!

Firstly, I love the raw intimate feel of this video. Letting us hear your conversations... Two questions: 1: as terrified as you were, would you do it again, how do you feel about it afterwards? 2: what kind of tires are you running and how did they perform? Lastly, the view at 21:27 is spectacular! Great video!

Thanks for doing one of the more complete videos

Cool video! My wife and I did this in 2007 in our Tacoma on our honeymoon. What a neat place and watching this brought make memories of our trip. Thanks for sharing. M&M in SC

Julie Ann is a champ; I could never get my wife to drive WRT w/ me-she can barely handle driving on highways that have canyon drop offs! Did WRT June 2020 w/ my 16 YO son. Watched a guy and his female companion do a pretty good 3 point turn going down Shafer Trail to come back up-she wasn't having it by the look on her face as we passed them! Stayed in Potato Bottom C night 2-good to see Kitchen Rock is still there, and bet you didn't have the mosquitos! Glad you got to mountain bike-my rack failed, and our bikes got damaged, so no riding on WRT and the rest of our trip-which was Moab/CO. Will be back again, would love to do WRT in the fall. Great video-

In 1971, my Dad and I did the White Rim Trail from the top down to the river. In a 1970 Volkswagen. It was challenging, but doable. I am certain over time it has had different levels of difficulty depending on when it was last maintained and when the last gully washer came through. They told us at the time you could do it if you took it easy.

Very nice. The wife and I drove out as far as Musslemans Arch some years back. I’d love to do the entire trail some day but doubt we will get to.... Thanks for sharing..

Wonderful video, I hope to enjoy this trail/camping some day. Well now you're ready for Black Bear pass and other great trails in Colorado. 👍

Nice video. I enjoyed riding along with you. Your interactions with your husband reminded me of my wifes reactions to Shaffer Trail when we did it over Memorial weekend. After that trip i traded in my Forester and got a 4 runner. I really want to do WRT, but looks like I have to work her into it.

Nice rig and a great way spend time with someone you love! As a "spotter" use the terms "passenger" and "driver" to instruct your driver which way to turn. More intuitive and much more specific. Bravo for taking on a shelf road on your first adventure. Many, many more to explore. Have fun!!

That's a great little video.

Loved this video and the interactions between you two! I so could see my wife in some of them. I did White Rim Trail for the first time about a month ago, but solo. Such a gorgeous place! I'm somewhere in the middle on experience... more than you two, less than others. Gotta say that all the crawl control made my skin crawl... there wasn't really any need for that on WRT... just learn to drive it, and perhaps most importantly learn about picking your line. No amount of crawl control will fix not picking the right line. Thanks so much for the video!

Looks like yous had a blast. Only thing was, It couldn't believe you didn't take those side steps off. I gives you sooooo much better breakover.

Well done!
-
Julie Ann you are too cute! You probably know by now, but when spotting yell "driver or passenger" to indicate direction to the driver. Enjoy!

This is amazing

Welcome to off roading! Also, general role of thumb is up hill traffic has the right of way.
