Question for those who have driven the white rim road in Moab UT

[Ctrulock]

I will be entering from Murphy trail and going to Murphy B camp site then the next day going out from mineral bottom. How hard will the road be to navigate using off line onx maps and printed paper maps? I will be solo on this one. I do have satallite messaging.

Its a very straightforward through route with only a handful of offshoots. There are no other ways to enter & exit except through mineral bottom on one end and potash road / schafer trail. Check the conditions with the national park service before you head out but overall its very straightforward, dont stress just enjoy :boink:

I'm trying to finally do White Rim Road in April. Looking forward to it. I've heard reports of a number of Subarus doing it, and my favorite story from about 10 years ago is someone in a 2wd Honda Pilot doing it.

If you have offline maps then it's easy. Dont forget your phone charger.

I use an app on my cell phone called "Maps 3D" that is very good. It shows all trails and has contour lines like a true geologic survey map. It has several selectable levels of detail; the amount of memory it takes depends on the detail you select. You download the map before you head out, but when you are at your site, no cell phone service is needed, only GPS to show where you are on the map.
