I am gonna do the white rim in April. I read there are no food lockers at the campgrounds, are there some trees so hang the food from bears and dangerous animals? Or how does it work there?
From our understanding, it’s more of an issue in Needles vs Canyonlands. NPS only recommends tightly sealed bags, not cooking near your tent and less fragrant foods. We had no issue with bears, only a rodent…. If you want to be extra safe and still stay lightweight and Ursack is approved for use in Canyonlands (but not Needles).
That was very entertaining. I liked the way you mixed in time-lapse to move things along. It did seem too your camera has some pretty good image stabilization or perhaps it was on gimbal? The front of your bike was taking a beating in some areas but the image was pretty stable. I know it was cold but with the moisture it kept the dust down, eh? It looks like a dry area. Consider getting a drone; birds eye video in some those areas would have been a nice addition.
Also, drones are not allowed in National Parks. We have considered an Insta360 with stick which gives to a similar look and feel and can be used anywhere.
Hi. You guys are a such good natured couple. I have so many questions! Can you add some description of your trip, like your gear, how much water you brought, if/how you trained, etc. If you have tips on what to do or what not to, please share. I'm super inspired. Thank you!
That is so nice of you to say! We like each other a lot. For gear, we pack in layers vs days and basically did what we would do for a two day backpacking trip. We brought a lot of water. I think we only filled up once at the river. Water was key. We did not bring enough warm gear and had not expected snow. Rookie mistake. Always pack for all the weather. We training, we are ultra runners so we run 5 days a week, lift once a week, and ride once a week.
@@TechMadic Thank you again for this video. We managed to pull it off last week but three days, too nights (April 10-12). Now that we've done it, I have twice as much respect for you guys. I fell over several times on the sandy stretches and we had NO wind. Our struggle with the weather was the opposite; We were riding the the exact three days that a 79-82 degree heat wave hit Canyonlands :D. By the way, for anyone researching this trip, there is easy access to the Green River at Potato Bottom A for water refill. Bring alum to help with the sediments. Good fun!
