DAY 1 - The first 50 miles of the White Rim Road. Canyonlands, Utah. Twelve hours of off-road bliss Condensed to 54 minutes. From Horse Thief Campground (down the steep switchbacks) to Murphys Hogback
What a fantastic video (audio maybe not so much ha ha) and awesome still photos. Great job, and I know a LOT of work to produce it. I drove the Shafer Trail and Pot Ash road this past Sept, 2020 in my F-150 4x4. I saw part of the White Rim Road from a couple of the CanyonLands overlooks. I tried to find where they were from your video perspective but couldn't tall where they were. I was really surprised at how much traffic there was and blown away with how many bicyclists there were riding the road. I would have loved to driven that road but I understand it takes a couple of days to complete the drive and I don't have any camping gear. A couple of areas looked a little tight for my F-150 but I see others seem to have made it through OK. Looking forward to viewing Part 2. Many thanks for posting and sharing.
The still shot at 10:40 is just fantastic. I watched part 2 first and had to come watch this....Its an awesome set of videos for researching my own trip. Thank you so much for the effort put into this. I cannot wait to retrace your tire tracks !!
horsethief camp!!! miss it so much. I know this sounds crazy but I've always wanted to hike/backpack white rim road. My husband and I drove it on our honey moon. It would be so lovely to do on foot and really take it all in. thank you for this
I made it down through all of the Shafer Trail switchbacks with my 2029 Ford F-150 Platinum Crew Cab without any problems. On a couple of them I had the steering cranked all the way. I was more concerned about traffic coming the other way.
50 P.S.I. hard and smooth...I have never lowered my tire pressure, even in sand. If you carry a portable compressor there is no problem. I prefer to pick my track and rely on my winch if I get stuck...share some photos and videos when you do this!
@@33jethro -- I'd suggest running lower pressure, in the 20psi range, to improve traction and reduce the bumps you feel. So long as you're careful to avoid hitting rocks too fast that could cause a pinch flat, lower pressure could reduce flats from pointy and sharp edged rocks. Lower pressure will increase fuel consumption, but not by much. The guys that do this often routinely air down off-road then air up on pavement.
Every time I watch this I get queasy. Some of the road looks very narrow, did your FJ scrape the side at all? I know you mentioned gas to one of the other users, but I have 2016 Trail 4Runner that has a 23 gallon tank, think it will be enough? I f-ing love these vids and the music you put to them! I can't wait to do this!
During the 100 miles (2 day) trip, I saw (1) unic (2wd)... That guy was struggling in places but he made it through...if the weather goes south (heavy rain) 2wd would NOT get you out...4wd heavily suggested Have fun...thanks for watching
The white rim road is approximately 100 miles...I left from horse thief camp at 5:30 am and traveled 50 miles to Murphy's Hogback (Day One) The next morning I took off at 9:00 am and I was just a few miles down the highway from my start at horse thief camp around 3 in the afternoon...I stopped and took a lot of pictures both days plus the time it took to change batteries in the go pros...I was carrying a roof mounted 50 gal gas tank and never needed it until the end
Nice video! I will be doing the same trail at the end of June. Do you remember what time you started the trail? It looked to be around 6 in the morning as the sun was rising?
John Johnson I plan on leaving Moab early in the morning and starting at Schafer trail. Going to do the trail clockwise, spending one night in the canyon. I’m not an overlander, gonna sleep on the back seat of the truck lol next week is last day of work then I’m off to Utah for one week.
Bloody awesome mate. Now on the bucket list!!! A huge thanks for sharing.
Excellent music selection

Thank you very much for the video, planning on riding my motorcycle in September and it is great to see the entire route, nicely done!
Your still shots are magnificent! Thanks for the show!
Thanks!
What a sunrise! Great video
Like others have said - really great to have the entire route! Much appreciated.
2:10 Just WOW! 😍😍😍
horsethief camp!!! miss it so much. I know this sounds crazy but I've always wanted to hike/backpack white rim road. My husband and I drove it on our honey moon. It would be so lovely to do on foot and really take it all in. thank you for this

Min 48. Start of Murphy Hogback
cool video! Big Hand from Switzerland! :-)
But the music is "bull shit"
Thanks!
👍
Those are some tight turns. Would love to do this but my truck probably wouldn’t make the turns

WOW! thankyou for this !!!!!
Did it take 12hours for 50miles?
I had good weather, sunrise to just before sunset (about 10 hours) in October...sorry for the delayed response...been traveling
Awesome
What was the tire pressure you ran at?
50 P.S.I. hard and smooth...I have never lowered my tire pressure, even in sand. If you carry a portable compressor there is no problem. I prefer to pick my track and rely on my winch if I get stuck...share some photos and videos when you do this!

What time of the year was this?
Late October
Every time I watch this I get queasy. Some of the road looks very narrow, did your FJ scrape the side at all?

23 gals should be enough!
never scraped once...but it certainly was expected...dented a rock rail on the climb up murphy's hogback
This is awesome! Question, can you get back with 2wd?
During the 100 miles (2 day) trip, I saw (1) unic (2wd)... That guy was struggling in places but he made it through...if the weather goes south (heavy rain) 2wd would NOT get you out...4wd heavily suggested
Have fun...thanks for watching
awesome thanks!!
I would Not try it...especially if it rains
Man , this was awesome but I wish it wasnt fast the whole time....Still amazing though
You can slow down the video playback. Top right hand corner. Settings 🤷
@@solooverland3666 Thanks for the tip. I never knew that.
about how many miles did you cover in Canyonlands? so I know how much gas I might need
The white rim road is approximately 100 miles...I left from horse thief camp at 5:30 am and traveled 50 miles
to Murphy's Hogback (Day One)
The next morning I took off at 9:00 am and I was just a few miles down the highway from my start at horse thief camp around 3 in the afternoon...I stopped and took a lot of pictures both days plus the time it took to change batteries in the go pros...I was carrying a roof mounted 50 gal gas tank and never needed it until the end
I used 14 gallons in 2 days on the WWR. I carried an extra 15 and did not need it
Perfect music for this video
THANK YOU!!!
Nice video! I will be doing the same trail at the end of June. Do you remember what time you started the trail? It looked to be around 6 in the morning as the sun was rising?
It was an hour before sunrise, I left Horsethief camp and took my time. There is ALOT to look at. HAVE FUN! and thanks for watching!

Better without the music.
I don't think it's safe to drive that fast.

Thanks!
