The White Rim Trail

The White Rim Trail is a beautiful 100 mile epic trail that winds about in the 'Island in the Sky' district of Canyonlands National Park in Utah with a wide variety of riding and beautiful views. There are around 20 campsites and they must be reserved, so get them early. The trail was formed by the Atomic Energy Comission in the 50's in their search for uranium.

The Canyonlands National Park website is well-organized and has lots of info.
