The White Rim Trail is a 100 mile jeep road that cuts through some of the most scenic parts of Canyonlands National Park. We decided to do the loop counter clockwise and start at the entrance for the park. It was Christofs birthday wish to ride this loop otherwise I probably never would have done it. I'm glad I did. I'm even more glad I did it on a day when the temperatures were peaking at 80. These 100 miles expose the rider to a lot of desert views as the trail runs along the Green and Colorado river. Candle stick tower, Junction bluff, Washerwoman and Airport tower will forever be seared in my mind as we slowly road around these name worthy landmarks on the sand and sandstone trails that make up The White Rim.

    "the views of the desert don't really translate to video" -proceeds to show breathtaking view

    When you post a new vid I stop whatever I am doing and watch. Happy birthday.

    Hilarious! Total role reversal this time around. Danny frets and Christof is the driving (riding) force! NOT boring by the way....love biking Canyonlands! Happy Birthday C!

    Danny, that busted spoke was karma for not really wanting to do the trip on Christoph's birthday. Great effort guys.
  • Sometimes Danny's apprehension, tears and suffering are half the enjoyment of these videos. Still very good videography Danny. Happy Birthday to the legend.
  • Christof talking about Danny in the third person while Danny is filming him is really funny. Christof revealing Danny has a broken spoke while Danny is filming him is just hilarious.

    "I ran out of water at the bottom of that last hill, so that worked out great" Wouldn't be a MA video if there was water left over. Happy Birthday Christof! I'll show up to the party next year when helicopters are involved.

    I dirt bike out that way a bunch. It’s super fun to bring the peddlers extra water. The look on their faces as I hand treats/cold drinks over is pretty satisfying.

    I was having a terrible day at work today. And then Cristof said “May 24th, the day of of my birth and of Ecuadorian independence”. All of a sudden, it was okay.

    If they venture on some forsaken hike, Or a prolonged quest on a bike, I'm always sure to give a big LIKE

    This is the exact opposite of "boring to watch"! Love this video, as a mountain biker it's really inspiring and exciting to see. Great job!

    Fun ride. I remember I got to skip school and do this ride over 3 days with my dad and some of his buddies when I was 10. It was a blast, even on a 20 incher haha. Thanks for sharing.
