Important Updates

This is where we will post important information pertaining to the event.  Check back regularly to stay informed, or sign up for the newsletter.

NEW TIME FOR 2024

Ride the Rim will have East Rim closed to vehicles from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.  Shortly after 4:00 pm you will begin seeing traffic on the East Rim, first by volunteers taking down the rest stops, and thereafter by general visitors to the park.  We recommend starting your ride as early as possible so that you're not stuck on the East Rim past 4:00 pm.  If you plan to ride past 4:00 pm, please come prepared with additional snacks, water, and safety mechanisms and clothing that make you visible to vehicles.

Important Notice: All gates will be open for both days of the RTR unless something changes with the fire near North Gate. We will post any updates or changes. Safe travels to the event! See you all soon!

Due to the Copperfield Fire, smoke may affect the air quality of this year’s Ride the Rim (RTR). RTR will happen in rain, sleet, snow, or smoke. We just ask that you take care of yourself during fire season and prepare accordingly.
