It is difficult to do the full loop of the White Rim Trail in a single day if you expect to stop and enjoy the views. You can expect an average speed of ~ 10-15 mph. Overnight permits are difficult to get a hold of, particularly if you expect to stay in one of the more desirable camps that are midway in the loop. Plan accordingly, and for the love of god, don't attempt the White Rim if it has rained recently or there is rain in the forecast, unless you have MT tires and have driven in Utah mud before.
Tyler was awesome and definitely knowledgable about the area.
How long of a tour was needed to do Fins and Hell's revenge?
We did the full day tour. We only did Lower Finns for about an hour and spent the rest of the day on Hell's. You can probably do one or the other with the half day. Our Guide also took us on the new exit from Hell's that just opened last year and isn't in the guidebooks yet so it was pretty awesome.
What is your opinion of Finn's vs Hell's? Never been on slick rock before.
The name is a bit misleading because it is certainly not slick. Super sticky, you'll crawl right up things you never would believe.
Finns was fun, I see what they mean when it's called a rollercoaster, but Hell's had much more variety of obstacles and nothing felt unsafe with a good guide, especially since he had a Bronco as well and so I knew we could do it. Finns is by no means bad and was a lot of fun, but if I had to pick one I'd do Hell's Revenge. There's a reason it's always at the top of lists. I think we only needed the front lockers once and even that could have been bypassed. Rear lockers and a willingness for a little bit of rubbing and you can handle it.
