Wildlife sightings on White Rim: We went White Rim day segment from the Island in the Sky side starting at 4:45 AM. Dry air kept visibility sharp for most of the route. Most of the route was in stable shape w/ minor rough patches. Wildlife/nature notes: Saw bighorn in the distance and lots of bird activity. Ratings: 5 overall, 4 difficulty, 5 scenery. Still thinking ~ this one.
