Out the door at 5:35 AM. White Rim sunrise session. We went White Rim day segment from the Island in the Sky side starting at 5:35 AM. Sun was strong in exposed stretches by late morning. Road surface was hardpack w/ a few washboard sections. Soft overcast made for even exposure all day. Already planning the next one.
