Took the whole family to White Rim. We went Shafer switchbacks into classic White Rim viewpoints starting at 5:10 AM. Dry air kept visibility sharp for most of the route. Traction stayed good, but dust built up after each vehicle group. Ratings: 4 overall, 3 difficulty, 4 scenery. Worth every bit of effort.
