Historical context for White Rim: We went White Rim day segment from the Island in the Sky side starting at 5:10 AM. Sun was strong in exposed stretches by late morning. Road surface was hardpack with a few washboard sections. Overall 4/5. Difficulty 3/5. Scenery 5/5. The boring prep stuff matters.
