We had been planning White Rim for months, and it finally happened.
We took White Rim day segment from the Island in the Sky side with 4 people. Started around 5:10 AM when morning temps were cool and almost windless. The trail traction stayed good, but dust built up after each vehicle group. All water came from what we packed in.
Quick scores: overall=4, difficulty=4, views=4
