5:35 am start the subway worth it.
We went left fork trailhead to the lower subway section starting at 5:35 am. Cool morning air helped us move fast before the canyon warmed up. Footing was solid on the dry benches and a little slick near water lines.
Midday light was harsh but the shadows added drama.
That is the summary.
