Photo notes from White Rim. We went Shafer start with a clockwise White Rim line starting at 6:25 AM. Dry air kept visibility sharp for most of the route. Road surface was hardpack with a few washboard sections. Midday light was harsh but the shadows added drama. Bottom line: Break in boots at home. Still thinking about this one.
