White Rim Mountain Bike Through Canyonlands

We gathered up a dozen friends to check out the crazy stuff in Green River, then ride 100 miles through Canyonlands National Park on mountain bikes. It was awesome.

"Elements"
Crystal Geyser
This cold water CO2 geyser erupted when we were there. How lucky! The water bubbled water up through this pipe and filled up this little pond and flowed over the travertine walls toward the river.
 We had dinner at Ray's Tavern and sat around the pool at River Terrace Inn. We met up the next morning at Holiday River Expedition's HQ.

Everybody made it! Bryan, Nicole, Tim, Hank, Deb, Andy, Ferg and Dave, Steve, Pete, Dan, Aimee, Todd, Scott
No one rode in the SAG wagon. Pete and Todd didn't walk any of it. Hank walked the littlest bit because he got caught in a microburst wind tunnel. Andy and Aimee didn't have rear suspension, and surely my bike was the heaviest. It was so fun.
