Some things to think about before The Subway. We went Left Fork trailhead to the lower Subway section starting at 4:45 AM. Cloud cover held until late morning and kept the slickrock from baking rock steps were stable, with a few muddy pockets by the creek. Key considerations: Be friendly at the trailhead. Overall 4/5. Difficulty 5/5. Scenery 4/5. Would do again in a heartbeat.
