Photo notes from White Rim.
We went Shafer start with a clockwise White Rim line starting at 6:25 AM. Sun was strong in exposed stretches by late morning. Most of the route was in stable shape with minor rough patches.
Golden hour delivered.
Bottom line: Take photos of the permit.
Some trips stay with you.
