I'm thinking early part of 2015...maybe even in conjuncton with Cruise Moab. I went to Cruise Moab in 2013 and it was not one of the trails offered during the event. I guess it's 90 miles long so it would be a 2 or 3 day expedition.
There is a group of us that goes to Cruise Moab and we try to take three or four days to get to CM and explore different routes and trails along the way. The White Rim Trail would be good use of a two or three days ahead of CM!

Fantastic. I'll plan on going!!
Depending on my 2015 job situation - this would be a fun use of those days of the week leading to CM2015! Permits and campground reservations are a necessity on the White Rim trail are they not? Seem to recall so reading trip reports on past outings on this trail.

Sorry I didn't respond earlier....out of town.
Yeah-that would be perfect timing to include it with CM 2015. Re camp reservations, looked a few months ago and it seems that only 1-2 site book up at all; I think I remember reading that the other sites are first come-first serve. It seemed to me that that wouldn't be a problem...but maybe others are planning WR at the same time as CM also adding to crowding. Will have to review again. Also, I suppose it depends on the number of vehicles going....how self-contained everyone is, etc. It's on my bucket list so I will be going --barring anything out of my control that is.
