Went minimal on White Rim. Here is what made the cut. 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. Traction stayed good, but dust built up after each vehicle group. Gear that worked: Electrolytes, Tablets, Gloves, Soft flasks. Extra water and shade layers mattered most out there. Would do again in a heartbeat.
