Cost breakdown for The Subway.
We went Left Fork trailhead to the lower Subway section starting at 6:00 AM. Wind stayed light, which made the river sections easier to handle. Rock steps were stable, with a few muddy pockets by the creek.
Overall 5/5. Difficulty 5/5. Scenery 5/5.
Just show up ready.
