Squeezed The Subway into a weekend.
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. Route finding was straightforward if we stayed on cairns and creek turns.
Do your homework first.
Tips
- Start earlier than you think.
- Count your miles.
- Physical map as backup.
- Phone battery backup...
