Local perspective on White Rim. We went White Rim day segment from the Island in the Sky side starting at 5:10 AM. Sun was strong in exposed stretches by late morning. Most of the route was in stable shape with minor rough patches. Overall 5/5. Difficulty 4/5. Scenery 5/5. The kind of day that resets perspective.
