White crack, fantastic views

For us, when we did this in January there were no other cars or bikes on the trail, and certainly none in the campground. You will need a permit from the island in the sky visitor center to drive the white rim trail and access this site. The road is very rough and is only suitable for high clearance 4x4 travelers, or mountain bikers/hikers

One of the most beautiful places you’ll lay eyes on

It was almost like you stepped back in time. No paved roads, no cell service, no anything…massive red rock formations rose out of the arid Utah desert in on direction with massive cliffs into deep canyons to the other. This place is truly one of the last great untouched areas of the Southwest. If you ever have the chance to do White Rim road…GO! We went in September and it was HOT! We did get to take a few dips into the Green River, however Fall or Spring would probably be better times to go and you’d experience much better temps. Feel free to reach out on instagram if you have any questions or want to start planning another trip! @campncruise

Hot bare , cool mushroom rocks, large cracks

We got there early in the after noon. The drive getting to the place is a oretty gnarly drive. Definitely need lifted 4x4 for unexpected terrain. We were in 104 degree F weather. A dew climbs with some nasty pot holes. Fortunately plenty of rocks to fill up the larger holes. You'll find some of the climbs a close to the edge. It git my heart pounding a bit. We saw some nice rock formations, lots of large canyons. We spent a good amount of gume driving near the edges of the canyons. Spectacular views. Washer woman, totem poles rocks. The camp grounds itself wasnt so great, however, a few yards down is the reason why its called white crack camp. Large mushroom white top rocks, and a large crack! We ended up lulling tarps in between trucks to hang out in the extreme heat! Did our best to deal with the heat with photo opportunities
