The White Rim Trail // 100 Miles of Canyonlands in a Day
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 06. 2021
- 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
The eyes can see so much more
It's true though, nothing compares to standing there at the edge, or looking up from the floor. It's incredibly vast
When you post a new vid I stop whatever I am doing and watch. Happy birthday.
NOTHING gets in the way of my mediocre amateur viewing.
Same
Same here!!!
Same!!

Danny, that busted spoke was karma for not really wanting to do the trip on Christoph's birthday. Great effort guys.
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!
Sometimes Danny's apprehension, tears and suffering are half the enjoyment of these videos. Still very good videography Danny. Happy Birthday to the legend.
Yea happy birthday Christof!
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 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.
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 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.
If they venture on some forsaken hike,
Or a prolonged quest on a bike,
I'm always sure to give a big LIKE
Happy birthday Christoph
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!
Music was really good in this by the way.
You guys are wringing a lot of living out of your lives. Kudos!
Right!
Danny your a great friend... 👍
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.
I've ridden a mountain bike for decades in the Midwest-Illinois area doing 100+ for fun. But also have ridden many miles in Moab. One of the best things about Canyonlands and the White Rim Trail is the scenery and solitude - something not found out my way. It also gives you an appreciation for all you have.
Big desert riding is the best and has the best views especially in places like Utah.
Christof and I share the same birthday. Great video guys!
Happy belated!
I ran those 100 miles at the end of April. Such an amazing place!
It blows my mind that you guys don’t have millions of subs. This is great high quality content.
you guys are beasts! i've done this three times in recent years. i've never been able to climb the switchbacks out of there.
i would advise anyone to start early (pre dawn) and go ccw. the darkness and shadow from the "island in the sky" will keep the sun away for a good part of the day.
I love your videos that have bikes in them! Thanks for putting out great content!
Loved this role reversal so much. lol
I thought Danny gave him a Yeti but it was just two years off his lifespan
Rode this on my KTM a few weeks ago :-). A fair number of MTBs at the time, many with support vehicles, so impressive to do without that. And yes, don't try this when its hot or you will suffer & die.
You guys always leave me super inspired! Much thanks. Happy birthday brother.
Happy Birthday, Christoph!
You guys are all class. Appreciate the video!
Happy Birthday Christof! I’ve been following you and giving you a thumbs up in life longer than any of these viewers.
And it would calm my mother heart if you would stay a little farther away from the drop offs
Ha! So true. I owe all my success in life......to trying to annoy my mother:)
Happy Birthday Christoff! Great video guys!!!!
Happy birthday christoph. Great video guys 👊🏻
Happy birthday mate - absolutely love all your content
Love the videos, excited to see what you guys get into this summer
Setting the bar high once again! Great video guys!
Breathtaking scenery. Just beautiful!
One of my favorite places around. Very cool!
This is random in my recommended. Was just in CanyonLands yesterday ... awesome video !
I recommend you subscribe and turn on notifications. Such an awesome channel.
Happy birthday Christof!!!!
Happy birthday! Enjoyed the whole video. Need to put this on my list!
Spectecular footage. Gorgious landscape. Great ride! Thank you for taking us along.
Happy birthday, Kristoff!!! 😎😜😊
Happy birthday !
Happy birthday, Christof! Great video, Danny.
Very awesome! Drove through Canyonlands once on a rode trip and the views were breathtaking. I honestly think you guys did a great job showing the panoramas of red rock and mountains.
I love the desert. Thank you. Happy Birthday!
Great scenery. Love the desert. I liked all the running videos on your channel you did in the beginning. But all your videos are awesome.
Great work and happy Birthday.
Nice to see the growth on this channel, cinematography and banter are always great!
Happy Birthday That was an epic ride through spectacular landscapes. Thanks for taking us along.
Those views were beautiful. Happy Birthday - thanks for including us. The strength and beauty what a gift.
Congrats Christoff! We share a birthday, looks like an epic one. Great views. Belated Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday Christof! I love the birthday present you got him at the end hahahaha
Another great video guys! Big ride!
Just did 140 miles over 2 days on case cod/ interior Mass. Used to live in SLC and will be moving there again soon, cannot wait to hit some of those bike routes. I think this is the best channel on CZcams, thanks for the great videos!
What a beautiful ride. Great Birthday choice, and of course knocking out a monumental segment while capturing the area grandeur per usual.
Music was perfect. Great video! 👍
Great, great video. The panoramic views were awesome!
Great ride, on my bucket list for sure.
HBD Crhistof! I think the desert is beautiful, I think it translates just fine. Absolutely bonkers to do this ride on a bike you haven't ridden!
Actually looks pretty sweet to me not boring to watch
What an awesome way to celebrate your birthday. Thank you soo much for sharing.
Lol Danny's such a diva. Great video, appreciated that on the last one you complained about everyone mountain biking and then you get roped into it as well
I liked it! Most of the treks you take are awesome, but scary! Love the channel. Best of all, now I have another gravel bike bucket list trail to do. Keep up the great climbs!
Happy Birthday happy adventure
"Dream Ride" thank you for sharing your epic ride.
I went to the Needles district of Canyonlands for the first time a couple weeks ago, partly inspired by your last Canyonlands video, such a cool place. I'm team Christof, happy bday!
Ha I’m so glad a birthday adventure. Got you out to the desert! So gorgeous
Spectacular MTB ride and nice video.
Stunning imagery and well done. HBD Kristofferson
Happy birthday Christof!
The views translate way better when you're filming each other from long distance - loved the video!
Bros didn't even looked cooked..insanity, nice stuff.
100% agree - camera never does the dessert justice but beautiful shots as always.
Videography was elite in this video. Happy birthday!
Happy birthday Christof! Definitely need to try some full moon adventures, that was a great idea
Happy Birthday Christoph!
Great video. Did that ride on a day notice. I did it when it was over 85 probably 90 that day. WOnt do it again. Lots of better trails around the area
What a great birthday adventure.
Happy birthday Christof!.
How awesome!! I did the WRT two days ago from horsethief parking lot and it was over 95 degrees for a good part of the day. Absolutely worth it but that high of 78 you mentioned sounds much more appealing!
heck yeah, love your videos. Came across them during the shutdown in 2020
happy birthday Christoph, mine was on the second, looks like a tough tripp!
Wow. You did this 2 days before I did it. I did it in 4 days with support, and it still really kicked my butt.
Danny always bringing the positivity
Happy BDay Christof!
Oh, but it's not boring to watch! Well done!
3:44 is an amazing shot!
Awesome video and Happy Birthday!
This really makes me want to get into mountain biking and one day do the White Rim loop on my bucket list. So many backpacking trips planned for this summer here in Colorado, Northeast Utah and Wyoming.
I guess this might be a goal I could work up to it in a year or so. 🤷🏽♂️🤣
That translated quite well to video! I’m into it. Nothing beats snowy peaks but the desert is sickkkk
that shot of the wheel flying by was sick
Happy Birthday Christof, glad Danny managed to deal with having type I (rather than II) fun for your b'day outing! Imagine: nobody vomited, got benighted, met a bear, ate "gas station" food or got cliffed up :D I only wish there'd been a cafe/restaurant where Christof could've got a beer and a sandwich and laughed while Danny got frustrated by the painstakingly slow service...THAT would've been the perfect birthday present!
haha for my birthday this year I scheduled a 6 hr trail run/hike in WI. It was -30 degrees F. ONE friend showed up. That said it was the one friend I knew would and we had a blast.
The fix: $2 for the spoke and $38 for the shop time
Seeing Danny stressed out: priceless
I was hoping for a new video this week and you never fail to disappoint. That looked like a fun ride but you won't catch me doing it.
Do more MTB videos! Just as entertaining as climbing peaks.
I like the way you think!
No doubt! Love it when they sneak in a little bit of riding in their climbing vids or their bike-only videos too!
Love it! May 24th is my birthday too. And Bob Dylan's.
Not sure what Danny was talking about in terms of boring, that was a beautiful video. Utah is spectacular for the outdoors.
HBD Christoph❗️,Firstly if a broken spoke is cause enough to ruin a wheel, you’re running the wrong wheel❗️Secondly if you’re not great friends with a bike mechanic who is capable of truing a fubar’d wheel then yes riding can be quite costly.
a little melodramatic for sure but with Cannondale asymmetric dished carbon fiber wheels etc. Danny just starts dreaming up worst case scenarios naturally, lol
I was waiting for Danny to puke. Haven’t seen that action in a while. Good job guys!
