Ever done the white rim trail?

I (along with other adults, of course) am thinking of taking a group of 14,15 year old scouts biking around the White Rim trail in Canyonlands NP this summer over 4 days. Problem is that I haven't done it before. If you have, do you think it is challenging but not overwhelming for 14,15 year olds? We may do backroads in CApitol Reef instead. I've done them and they are fine.

Thanks for the info. We faxed in our trip request today. So cross your fingers.

We want your bike for sure. Thanks for offering.

Have you considered the Little Wild Horse/Bell Canyon loop near Goblin Valley? It is about 8-9 miles round trip and it takes about four hours. Fabulous hike. It would be perfect for boys that age.

Norm: thanks that's an excellent suggestion. I've started the loop but never finished because I like the narrows in Little Wild Horse so much that I never seem to make it past that point (oh, and the last time around we were packing 1 year old twins through and it started to rain lightly. We left. Quickly.)

I think scouts would realy like it so we might just give it a go.
