Cost breakdown for The Subway. We went Left Fork trailhead to the lower Subway section starting at 5:10 AM. Cloud cover held until late morning and kept the slickrock from baking. Route finding was straightforward if we stayed on cairns and creek turns. TLDR: Count your miles. The kind of day that resets perspective.
