NEW FOR 2025
Please note a change at North Junction: will be closed due to a construction project. Check-in, bike corrals, and the shuttle stop will now be located at the first pull-off on the left on North East Rim Drive. Additional parking will be available at the second pull-off, as well as along the outbound lane between the second pull-off and the check-in station. If you park along the road, please be sure you can return to your car and have it moved by 4:00 PM.
There will be no day of registration. Ride The Rim has become extremely popular. The National Park Service is committed to managing East Rim Drive vehicle-free days, so they are safe and enjoyable for all park visitors. Extensive planning and staffing resources are needed to support the logistical complexities of travel between designated event parking, bike and shuttle drop-off/pick-up locations, and maintaining egress on all remaining park roadways to allow for emergency response and free-flowing traffic conditions on West Rim Drive & Rim Village each day.
Our snack offerings at the aid station will look a little different this year, as more volunteers will be allocated to assist with parking safely and efficiently. We will provide water for your refillable bottles, hydration packets, and granola bars.
In years past, cash donation boxes have been present at the event. This year the park will only be accepting online donations.
