- Description
Recapture Rim is that perfect ride to take early in the morning or later in the day when you have other things to do. It is a loop that originates from downtown Blanding and loops out to the rim of Recapture Canyon follows the rim for a couple of miles then swings back around into town. This is a route that requires Street Legal Machines as you cross a fair bit of paved road later in the trip. Starting on the North end of town just across from the Visitor Center. You start on dirt headed East on Trail #1 Follow that until the rout splits, then keep right. Follow the rim of the canyon until you get to Brown’s Canyon road, then turn right. Right again on Perkins Road. Follow Perkins to Main Street then north to Pioneer Park.
