Quantified: The Subway breakdown.
- Route: Left Fork trailhead to the lower Subway section
- Weather: Cool morning air helped us move fast before the canyon warmed up.
- Trail: Footing was solid on the dry benches and a little slick near water lines.
- Water: Water was running and cold, so we packed extra socks for the exit.
- Crowds: empty
TLDR: Study the route at home.
Check conditions before you go.
