- In this video we travel along the White Rim Trail in Utah. Although we had no plans of traveling along this route, we were fortunate enough to learn about this trail while we were in the Moab area and we were able to score a backcountry overnight permit to stay at one of the campsites.
The views were absolutely astonishing in every direction. This video shows the first part of our travels on this trail.
We hope you enjoy the video & are all healthy & safe!!!

Back Up.... piccking up the stragglers
A lot of Mountain
biking starting back then.....
We did it in reverse from you.... No pit toilets....
Hey guys that was a s*** ton of fun...so jealous. Great footage and fun commentary 😁
Glad you enjoyed it Bill! Happy Trails
21 minutes into the video
Good fighting in the tent
What are longhorn sheep?
Great episode!
26:14 exactly what I would do. 😂
fake sheat
Got to love it! Well made. Thanks. Love dirt
Super nice video. But I have a question where is your dog. Greetings from Germany Peter
Does any one know the name of this song?
You're blessed with and cute a witty wife! Great opening video Convo between the two of you. Keep spittin out these 🔥 content! Cheers from socal USA! Safe travels
I love the Moab area. Great video.
We picked up a Fireside Fire Pit but haven't had the chance to really use it yet. How do you like yours? Pro's, con's. We love Utah and have done White Rim twice now, can't get enough and we also haven't been able to get back for 2 years now. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
No way, I was at Canyonlands the same week! I only had a day and a half or so to explore so I went to Island in the sky and arches, but I definitely want to go back and drive through the other sections in the park.
You ever just pop the top, move the panels and put the plastic toilet on top of the goose gear platform? Seems like an easy option in the wind or open areas haha.
Really enjoyed your video. What month/year was your trip? Trying to judge road conditions as I know the road was in pretty bad shape in the fall of 2021.
You got lucky because of time of year. You wouldn't have that same luck between April and October.
I imagine it is quite difficult during those prime months!
Do you have the link for the remote start accessory that you installed?
Hi JR - Yes...the remote start can be found in my Amazon Store here: www.amazon.com/dp/B01KYM5X6E?ref=exp_395jnky_dp_vv_d&th=1
Can't quite decide how I concluded you're a KC fan, so many light covers and the hat. Do you think those are enough lights ? Baja Designs are a better choice.
We've only been part way down White rim. From down Schafer switchbacks to Lathrop Canyon. Don't go past Lathrop Canyon, take that side route and go down to the river you won't regret it.
I remember comments about the jackery that if it doesn't detect any variation in current draw for about 10 minutes it'll shut itself off. I know it sounds weird but when you described what was happening it triggered that memory.
Good stuff you two, my wife and I do something similar in our Gladiator and you can see it at Black Pearl Voyager channel on youtube.
Cheers!🤙
Wow great trip...tks...will make this one in spring too cold now for me
Thank for watching James. You definitely should!
Great video, thank you! Can you tel us what fridge slide you have?
Sorry for the delayed response. The fridge slide is made by Tembo Tusk.
How recent is the video? Just curious what exact time of year you guys headed out there.
Did you notice your brake line rubbing?
I didn't until you pointed it out...LOL. But I think it's fine. Its steel braided line rubbing against the lower control arm...Thanks for the heads up!
where did you get your camp table from?
REI. We love it...
Amazing trip…you both have such great chemistry together…do you think a well fitted Sprinter can make this trail? Thanks.
Thanks so much E Y. Yes, I think a well fitted Sprinter van would do just fine on this trail. Happy Trails
You broke the first rule about fight club…😂
LOL....Great movie. Definitely top 10 in my book.
Just got back from Stoneman Lake in Arizona and man the wind and temps where crazy just like this video! Can’t wait for next part!
Nice!! Except for the wind part. Wind + Camping = No bueno!!!
Did the trail in June amazing
What tent are you using
It is called an Ursa Minot J30. It replaces the stock Jeep top.
Where did you buy your table from?
REI. But Amazon has some very similar tables, in appearance at least. Cant speak on the quality for the ones on Amazon, but they're about 1/2 the price of the REI tables. Worth looking into... Happy Trails
Cool video guys, I just stumbled on your channel by happenstance. Would love to see a more detailed video on your car and how you the camper links to the inside of your car! Cheers!
Thanks for visiting the channel Jack. On my most recent walk around we show how to get into the tent area. Happy Trails!
Cumon Daniel we gotta wait a whole week to watch the next episode 😡🤣 Is there a paid subsciption so I dont have to wait that long lol ... Awesome adventure im super Jealous. Next week cant come soon enough.
LOL. Glad you enjoyed Jaime! Next video will be released Thursday. Enjoy
great Video!
Thanks Bryan
Yeah man, I have the same plan with the remote start heater. 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Great minds!!!
Great video. My wife and I will be spending some time in the area in April from Canada. We have a stock Rubicon. Question, we also have a custom off-road teardrop with high-clearance. Any thoughts on brining the trailer with us on the trail? That's the only way we could do a multi-day as our jeep is not setup for overnight. Thanks!
On the route we took, I think you would be just fine. The only part of the trail we didn't experience, which unfortunately is likely the place you might have a problem is on the Schaffer switchbacks. But you can always go the long way around like we did, and you should be just fine. Good luck and hope you have a great time on your trip.
I have noticed that in many video in the national and state parks, that the use of drone photography. Is there some way of getting permission to use drones in the parks. I know that most parks do not allow it.
Good question. There is no way that I’m aware of to get permission. All drone shots in this video were shot on BLM land and not within the boundaries of Canyonlands National Park.
Great video. What time of year are you doing the Rim?
We did this trip over the New Years break.
Did you get permission for the drone? Because when I was there drones have not been permitted since 2018.
Hi Taj - As referenced in the video, we were not within the National Park. Drones are only prohibited within the park boundaries. Gaia GPS is a great toll you can use that will help you identify such boundaries. Happy trails and thanks for watching.
@@395jnky awesome, thanks for clarifying. I was with a group a while back where they got permission for one drone for a limited time. Don’t know all the details, maybe it was me wishful thinking that it could be a possibility to get permits.
Loved the video btw! Thanks again and keep them coming!
Could we do this trip pulling a 14’ off-road trailer behind our Jeep JKU? The roads on your video seemed wide. Not sure about the switchback’s though.
Should be OK...However I didn't get to experience the Schaffer switchbacks which might pose a problem. But you could always go the long way around like we did. Happy Trails
Thank you for your response. Good to know there are options for this trail .
“Longhorn sheep”?
That'd be bighorn sheep from Texas! Those Texans always have to be different! :-)
LOL...Big Horn...I always get that mixed up.
@@395jnky haha, just giving you a hard time. When you said, I went “what?” And had to rewind to listen again.
We did the White Rim trail on our dual sport motorcycles back in 2012. No permits needed back then.
This trail would be so much fun on adventure bikes! Thanks for watching.
Utah. It’s like being on another planet! White Rim is definitely on my list for next trip to UT. We just got back from a week in Death Valley. Not too bad either. I was thinking of your channel as we were driving on 395 on our way back to the Bay Area.
We love Death Valley. Hopefully we can get out there this year before things start heating up. Hope you had a great trip!
Another awesome adventure in the books great photography definitely have to check out this trail sometime gorgeous scenery great stuff guy’s as always be safe 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Steve. Glad you enjoyed.
Absolutely breathtaking views. You guys are awesome! Thanks
Are you guys married or what? Another beautiful and very entertaining video. Thank you Daniel and Momma Goose for sharing your experience in Canyonland as well as your wonderful relationship.
Hi Steve. Yes...very much married. 26 years strong. This thing might actually work out. LOL. So glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment.
Really appreciate the two of you sharing this journey. Why do I feel like I'm watching Yellow Stone and I have to wait for the next episode!!! OMGOSH .... Great job! LoL
Great trail. I did it solo in June of 2019, and the desert was amazing with all the blooms. I camped at Murphy B in a tent. The trail really isn't that difficult. I did it in a stock Tacoma TRD offroad, with stock tires. No problems at all. Rain would have changed all of that. Like every trail in southern Utah, it turns to gumbo in the rain, and even with MT tires you will really struggle if you are even able to move at all. It also gets really windy in the evenings up on top of Murphy. I had to kind of wrestle the tent getting it set up. I cooked on the tailboard of the truck with my trusty Coleman, a walmart cooler, Rubbermaid containers, and had a 7 gallon water cube. It was a blast. If you have even the most basic of rigs GO and do this trail. You certainly don't need a built up system to do this trip. Just go have fun. I loved it. PROTIP: When it's hot, bang on the door of the pit toilet before you open it. The rattle snake cooling off on the concrete will not be amused by your entrance...... Trust me on this one!!! lol
Thanks. I did the Shafer Trail last April in my Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk- how would it fair on the White Rim ?
@@danielgriffith3633 My Tacoma has 9 inches of clearance and it did just fine. I'm not sure how much there is on your rig. There is only a couple of times I had it in 4 low. Going in the direction opposite of what the video shows, there was one small climb with ledges (that might be an issue), then Murphy Hogback which is just steep, and Hardscrabble which is also steep. With those exceptions, the rest of the trail is pretty much like Shafer. There is one spot where you could potentially have to cross water if the Green river is up. When I went it was a dry wash. You can check conditions there at the visitor center. Also, you don't have to do an overnight. They have day passes for the trail if you just want to get on part of it.
@@larryboothby3687 Thanks man- I'll def do the whole trail over 2/3 days next time I'm up there, really dug the whole area.
Great tip! Thanks Larry
WRT Been on my bucket list for 17 years. Yes that’s the trick you got to go in the middle of winter and freeze your arse off, LOL been shut out twice trying to make reservations during my vacation week… Looking forward to the next episode. By the way about four years ago a guy in a semi tractor trailer started down the Schaeffer Trail. They had to pull them out and he said his GPS took them that way, look it up it’s funny.
Our buddy John pointed me in the direction of WRT. So grateful him and Barbara shared so much knowledge with us about this area. They singlehandedly made our trip awesome!!! I'm gonna search for the video now. See you in AZ next month.
I did the white rim trail on a mountain bike. It almost broke me but it was worth it. The scenery and remoteness of this trail made this a special trip for sure. Glad you got to experience this trail.
Thats cool 👍 video. Lovely watching both of you could not make out how time ended pretty homely God bless both of you and enjoy your life in this way for ever 🙏.
Great stuff 👍🏼. Can’t wait for the next episode
Thanks Nate. I should be working on the next episode now...but I've got Final Cut Pro fatigue...LOL
Great video Daniel and Mama Goose! Love the GoPro and drone footage, such an awesome place! I want to see it soon!!!!
Thans Mike....We would love to do it again. We should chat...maybe plan something for the fall??? Wait for it to cool down. Not much shade on this trail. I imagine summer temps could be pretty brutal in this area.
Outstanding cinematography and it’s even better seeing a happy couple doing stuff together, keep up the awesome videos
Awesome video!!! This is definitely on my bucket list of trails to do. I want to go with friends and other rigs though just in case of any issues. Safe adventures guys!
Thanks Travis. And great idea going with some others. We would have loved to been with a few other rigs! Happy Trails
Great video man! Epic views! Momma goose had me crackin up at the beginning when she was laughing. Thanks for sharing your adventure in Utah.
Glad you enjoyed! Yah...she's a crackup if she gets going. Cheers
Good one guys! Amazing scenery, totally different than i`m used to in Norway. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it. I imagine it isn't much like Norway, but I'll bet you have some amazing spots swell. Take care!
As always great video from my favorite overlanding couple
Hi Paul! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I saw you signed up for the Desert Rendezvous....I look forward to hanging out with you again. Until then, take care!
We have the WRT on our list. Looks like a lot of fun and the scenery/views are amazing!
This Trail is awesome! I did the trail last July. The Permit is easy to get, just go to NPS in Moab and request one. I did the trail with a full size truck, '16 Ram 1500 2wd! 35' tires , Air down and good clearance is the key. Looking forward to go again.
Looks like an awesome place...Thanks for taking us along 👍❤️🇺🇸
It was! Thanks for watching1
I know I’m late to this party but thanks for taking us along. You are correct, some incredible areas to explore. We will be through that area in a few weeks. We won’t be able to do the same kind of camping but still looking forward to getting there. CHEERS!
Love the video as always, where did you purchase the 7 gallon water jug that filters the water out , at?
Bought the same remote starter a couple years ago, works great! They have another version that also gives you an app to start the vehicle (as well as the key fob). The app also has a GPS vehicle locator.
Great video as always!
You guys scored w/ the swap to campsite A at Murphys! I was able to do WRT June 2020-booked the permits w/ less than 2 weeks notice due to lack of interest/travelers w/ CV19. WRT was the highlight of the cross country move for my 16 yo son and me (military)-and probably best overlanding trip to date for me. The folks in Murphy A told us how lucky we were to get the permits on such short notice-they were on their 2nd trip on WRT. Can't wait to do it again! Great filming/video, guys!
seems like the fire would be hot enough to kill the bugs in the firewood
The bark beetles are devastating the forests, better to be safe than sorry.
@@NarleyAdventures We have a lot of those here in Louisiana
the national forestry uses traps for them but you still can see some of the Pines that get taken over by the beetles. on cut wood you can treat it with lacquer thinner, boiled linseed oil or bleach to kill any of the bugs before you go camping.
@@TwoFeatherChannel Uhmmm if you bought the wood at the store and you were overlanding it might not be so easy to do all that.
There are no ground fires permitted in the park along with no wood fires on the white rim trail. We do what we can to clean up after people that disregard those rules. The propane camp fires are ok and seem to be a lot less mess.
And if you leave an unburned piece behind?
Next time, take 4 or 5 days. There's lots to see and explore. We stayed at 4 different campgrounds. Also, I'm seen and heard of tourist who rent vehicles totally freeze on the Shafer Trail switchbacks.
We would love to make this trip again and spend that kind of time. Definitely lots to see. Happy Trails Gary
White Rim is on my bucket list but will probably never get to do it. We did drive out as far as Musslemans arch once and have done the Schaffer switchbacks a couple of times. The entire area around Moab is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your adventure. I love seeing the scenery and hearing other people give their take on what it’s like... It’s been 3 yrs now since we were last there and hope to get back in Fall of 2022...
You should! And I agree...The ENTIRE area around Moab is just gorgeous.
I knew there'd be some UFO action!!!!
100%
I had reservations for Murphy Camp C last summer but had to cancel. It was fricking hot during time. Good stuff guys!
I imagine the heat can be a bit much in that area...And not a whole lot of shade either. Thanks for watching Cement Taco!
Someday, I keep saying that but someday!! Love the videos
Thanks Jerry!
Awesome views and Bell got you through!
Thanks William. Yes...Bele did amazing! Every trip I wonder if this will be the trip something breaks...LOL
You guys look like astronauts grilling on Mars! What an amazing place!
I thought the same when editing in the video. LOL
Cool video.Thank you for taking us along
Our pleasure!
@@395jnky y'all riding with Dallas or are y'all jumping to them 49'ers................ GO BOY'S
Enjoyed it! It can be very difficult to score a campsite or sites in Spring. We're doing the trip in April, so when reservations opened at 8am MT on November 10, 2021 I was on line. Picked the 3 sites we wanted, went to checkout, and they were no longer available. Tried again with two sites, at checkout, they were no longer available. Third try, picked the anther site and managed to get it. By 8:05 most of the sites were booked into June.
Have fun. April should be nice! Happy Trails
Epic trail & video! I love the new set up...simple & efficient! Trying out my new set up next month at Grand Canyon with nephew & hubby! Thanks for keeping me motivated! Can you ask Mama Goose what brand jacket she's wearing? She looks great!
Have fun! And thanks for watching Mena. Hope the new setup works great for you guys. She said her jacket is made by Outdoor Research. And she said thanks....LOL
Super video, love it, love the music. We’re heading that was in two weeks. Sooooo excited we just can t wait. This video really got our anticipation level way up. Thank you!
Right on...Glad it is helping you get fired up. You'll have a blast!
Looks like a place I need to add to my Bucket List
100%. Gonna be hard to top this location anytime soon!
With snow on the ground I would like to know when you actual did the trail (dates), I've done this trail 6 times in my truck camper. Excellent drone footage going down Mineral Road switchbacks!
We hit this trail last month between Christmas and New Years. Thanks for the kind words and Happy Trails
You had some great skies that first day! Now waiting to hear about Day 2 and the 2 AM wakeup! I did White Rim last February and it was indeed awesome. Only saw a couple other people the whole time. Plan to go back on of these days and take it a littler slower... (though I already took it slower than you did, with 2 nights on the trail).
Overall we had really good weather considering the time of the year. 2 nights on the trail would have been awesome. Soooo much to see. Thanks for watching John! Appreciate the support!
My son and I were thinking of doing the trail this spring. But with the permits etc, thinking Oct-Nov might be a better option. A 5 hour drive from N. Utah.
Do you need a permit to go on the trails?
@@MrMarynjavy It seems this trail a permit is required. I would call the NP and ask directly.
Ok thanks
Can’t believe the weather you had, although we just got our first snow a week ago on the front range in Colorado. We will be in Moab next week, but it looks like much more snow, but will be some good wheelin’, Great video👍
Overall, we had some pretty mild weather while we were there. Have fun on your trip. Be safe and Happy Trails
I did this trail many years ago as a 1 full day trip and it was amazing. Its one of my top 5. Now I want to go back and do an over nighter. Thanks for sharing. How safe is it using Mr Buddy in the pop up. Do you keep it on most the night? Love your channel.
What are the other 4? Would like to try them with my 4Runner.
Hi Ara - We use it only when we go to bed...and then we turn it on a few times during the night for 5 mins or so. It heats up the tent pretty quickly. Thanks for watching!
Great trail, we ran it this past summer. Just a heads up that drone shot in the beginning going down the switchbacks is definitely on national park land.
Hi eric…Thanks for watching.
Just to set the record straight, the switchbacks in the beginning are definitely not on national park land. The switchbacks I went down in this video were the Mineral Springs switchbacks. My guess is you’re mistaking the switchbacks I went down, for the Schafer Trail switchbacks which are indeed within the Canyonlands National Park. Happy Trails
@@395jnky ah yes you are very correct! We ran it the opposite way and kept going west afterward forgot that the end was outside of the park.
The look on your faces around the 11:00 minute mark had the look of “why are we so alone out here - both awestruck and anxious! You got this!
It was such a weird feeling being all the way out there with no-one around. It was great, but incredible that we had all this area basically to ourselves. Thanks for watching.
That looks like an awesome place 👍
It is. We're so lucky to have found out about it while we were up there.
Love the adventures!!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Happy Trails
We did the White Rim Trail in late June and even though it was summer the temperature was not that hot. We had originally planned to do the whole loop but there was a closure at Hardscrabble Hill due to a rock slide so we had to do an in an out. Beautiful footage. Thanks for the video.
Bummer on the rockslide...but at least you experienced some of it. You should try again!
Glad you got to do the WRT and share it / motivate the rest of us to get out! Nice captures/edits going down the switchback portion
Thanks D C. Happy Trails
Interesting area for sure and love the history lesson! Thanks for the video and glad I found your channel. Subbed up to see more!
Welcome! Glad you found our channel and thanks for the sub! And as far as the history lesson goes, LOL, that was from a 2 minute read...Just thought it was interesting regardless. And I'm pretty sure I impressed my wife..so Mission Accomplished!
