I must comment on the 80 series. Thats a nice truck. I am, however just a bit prejudiced.
Nice photos as well. We are headed that way the first week of October, so couple of questions if you don't mind. Must you camp in the group sites, or are there campsites here and there along the way? And, how many other people did you encounter? I'm hoping the LR guys were all. Thanks

The 80 was BADASS! On Rimrocker it was all dispersed camping. The group site was in Moab, we decided to hit that up since we were starting White Rim the next day. The Utah side had people roaming around because of hunting season

Time to hit the ICONIC White Rim Trail. This trail is full of epic views and well worth the effort to get permits.

Nice images ; we’ve done the WRT twice, it is a really good first experience for anyone that wants to begin this lifestyle. I attempted reservations this year. At 12:00 mountain time I, having previously set everything up, had three keys to press. I got hung up somewhere and it took me 10 seconds. 5 seconds too late. Everything was booked within that 10 second timeframe. I was bummed, but the Swell awaits our arrival

We had everything set up and scheduled it the minute it came available. My buddy knew it would fill up fast, we were out camping so we had to find a spot with signal on the side of a mountain lol. I am glad we got it, such a beautiful place.

Day 3 of White Rim was fairly short. I believe we were back in Canyonlands around 11-11:30, which worked out great for this. It was extremely busy in Moab, the fact we got back early made it possible to get a campsite.

Potato bottom is a very good campsite eh?
We really liked it. We wished there was a little bit more of a "beach" but we enjoyed it.

I highly recommend getting the permits for multiple days. It is so pretty down there.

THE last trail run of the trip, which happened to the be the hardest trail run. We decided to tackle Top of the World to get that iconic picture at the top. This trail was super super tough to run though.

So just looking through the pictures, which I know didn't capture every inch of the trail...but looked like Rimrocker and WTR were fairly easy trails?
