Safety considerations for White Rim:
We went Shafer start with a clockwise White Rim line starting at 5:10 AM. Dry air kept visibility sharp for most of the route. Most of the route was in stable shape with minor rough patches.
Key considerations: Turnaround time is not negotiable.
Short version: Carry a small trash bag.
Days like this are why I hike.
