White Rim field notes from 2026-03-27.
- Route: Shafer switchbacks into classic White Rim viewpoints
- Weather: Dry air kept visibility sharp for most of the route.
- Trail: Most of the route was in stable shape w/ minor rough patches.
- Water: All water came from what we packed in.
- Crowds: empty
TLDR: Backup headlamp batteries.
The boring prep stuff matters.
