Utah locals call it �THE SWELL� a three thousand-foot fold of sandstone and shale on the edge of the Colorado Plateau. Its hidden canyons provided sanctuary to old west outlaw Butch Cassidy.

A must in any mountain biker�s rites of passage is the White Rim Trail. Riding on a sandstone bench through a land called �Island in the Sky� you will pass Mussleman Arch, Monument Basin, Turks head, Candlestick Tower, and White Crack, a perch 1000 feet above the confluence of the Green and Colorado rivers in the center of Canyonlands � some believe the center of the universe.
