What you need to know before The Subway: We went Left Fork approach with a quick weather check at dawn starting at 5:35 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. Still thinking about this one.
