Gear that made the difference on White Rim:
We went White Rim day segment from the Island in the Sky side 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.
Gear that worked: GPS, Watch w/ altimeter.
A simple dust layer and eye protection made a big difference.
Short version: Tape hot spots before they blister.
Already planning the next one.
