The Subway w/ the pup. 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. Footing was solid on the dry benches and a little slick near water lines. Short version: Bring one extra liter. The kind of day that resets perspective.
