some notes on The Subway

There are moments when the trail gives you exactly what you need. We took Left Fork trailhead to the lower Subway section with group of 3. Started around 5:10 AM when cool morning air helped us move fast before the canyon warmed up. The trail footing was solid on the dry benches and a little slick near water lines. Creek flow was moderate and easy to cross with poles. Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=4, views=5 The trail rewards the patient. Quick notes: - Trust the cairns. - Check weather the morning of. - Know the bail-out options.
