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 6 people. Started around 6:00 AM when sun was strong in exposed stretches by late morning. The trail road surface was hardpack with a few washboard sections. No reliable water access, full carry from the start. TLDR: Trust the cairns. Hope this helps.
