Thank you Guys. Here is the pics from day 4

Day 4 - White Rim Trail

This was the most memorable day for me. This is an 100 mile offroad trail loop with a different kind of terrains.


I did not explore plan much about this trail prior to the trip. Got a PDF map online, talked to the park rangers - thats all the info I had - plus the info from RR from ADVRider. I had bought the GPS just on the day I we started the trip so could not load the maps to GPS. In stead I downloaded the offline google maps on my phone , so that I know where I am and then compared it with the PDF map.


Based on the RR in ADV some had taken 6-7 hours and every one suggested to keep one day aside for this 100 miles offroad trail. I read some one did the whole trail in 3-4 hours. Hatts off to him !!!


Now here are the pics from this section -


we started 7 in the morning ! considering we had a 5:30 pm activity booked with hells revenge 4x4.


we did the route clock wise





Start of the off road section

















Met this person on his punctured bike. We thought he was taking rest initially.
After talking to him realized he had a flat tire. His camp was just 3 miles away and he did not had a puncture kit. So we helped him inflate the tire since I had the Slime kit with me.


























Near Dead Horse view point - upclose











Entering the park, three was speed limit board here for 15 mph

















we had seen only 3-4 vehicles the whole day in this stretch most of them was the back up for the bikes

Had been to Moab when I was last in the US and I have similar pictures like yours. Especially the one where you can sit over the cliff. Great pictures there Rocky.

Of course I was only visiting at that time and so couldn't really do it on a bike. But someday

Hey great stuff and pictures there and off road is a most important part of biking....

Re: Dallas to Utah : 7 days, 2500 miles on road 100 miles off road on a vStrom 650

We did not even realize that we took close to 3 hours to cover just first 25 miles.





This was one of the most scenic section








Closer



















It was not all dry


















We took a lunch break here.. had packed sushi.
