Photo notes from White Rim.
We went Shafer switchbacks into classic White Rim viewpoints starting at 6:25 AM. Sun was strong in exposed stretches by late morning. Traction stayed good, but dust built up after each vehicle group.
Soft overcast made for even exposure all day.
Overall 4/5. Difficulty 4/5. Scenery 5/5.
TLDR: Share beta when asked.
Days like this are why I hike.
