Some things to think about before White Rim. We went White Rim day segment from the Island in the Sky side 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. Key considerations: Start earlier than you think. Already planning the next one.
