Led a group of 1 on White Rim. Here is how it went.
We went White Rim day segment from the Island in the Sky side starting at 6:00 AM. Dry air kept visibility sharp for most of the route. Road surface was hardpack with a few washboard sections.
Overall 4/5. Difficulty 3/5. Scenery 4/5.
Bottom line: Know where water is.
Days like this are why I hike.
