First time doing White Rim and WOW. 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. Traction stayed good, but dust built up after each vehicle group. Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=4, views=4 10/10 would recommend.
