UBB Pre-Party 2025: Rim Run

A fast paced trip through the Arizona Strip to explore an abandoned mine and watch the sunset on the north rim of the Grand Canyon.

Before you sign up for this run you need to answer YES to ALL of the following questions:

  1. Will you be driving a Bronco?

  2. Would you like to park on the rim of the Grand Canyon in your Bronco?

  3. Can you be bathroom self-sufficient all day on the trails?

  4. Are you able to drive quickly over washboard roads? 25-33 MPH?

  5. Can you quickly and safely traverse trails with a difficulty rating of 5 or higher?

  6. Are you able to spend all day and 220 miles off grid in the desert/rock/sandy trails?

  7. And now the easiest one, can you feed yourself out of your Bronco for the whole day without a restaurant or store.

If you passed that test here are some details about the day:

  • Starting early morning, we will meet just off of HWY 7 outside of St. George / Hurricane Utah. We will be driving around 78 miles on gravel and sand road/trails before hitting Parashant Canyon and the Copper Mountain Mine - Andrus Canyon trail.​

  • This trial will be at a slower pace, but we will need to keep moving. The clock, weather and trail conditions will determine if we make it to the mine before heading to the overlook.

  • The road to the trailhead/overlook does not look like anything we will need four wheel drive for. At the overlook we will be spending a fair amount of time, hopefully. I would love enough time to get individual pictures at the rim and a few group pictures as well as cook my dinner, all while watching the sunset.

  • The way out looks to be just a long dirt road that should be very easy to traverse in the dark.
