White Rim with the kids. We went White Rim day segment from the Island in the Sky side starting at 4:45 AM. Morning temps were cool and almost windless. Most of the route was in stable shape with minor rough patches. Overall 4/5. Difficulty 4/5. Scenery 4/5. Grateful for this one. Quick notes: - Tell someone your plan. - Turnaround time is not negotiable. - Phone battery backup. - Know the signs of altitude. - Mark key waypoints...
