Real talk on White Rim. We went Shafer switchbacks into classic White Rim viewpoints starting at 6:00 AM. Sun was strong in exposed stretches by late morning. Traction stayed good, but dust built up after each vehicle group. Quick scores: overall=4, difficulty=5, views=4 Preparation is everything. Quick notes: - Bring the rain layer even if clear. - Tape hot spots before they blister. - Know the bail-out options. - Trust the cairns.
