Some guidance for anyone planning The Subway. We went Left Fork trailhead to the lower Subway section starting at 4:45 AM. Cloud cover held until late morning and kept the slickrock from baking. Footing was solid on the dry benches and a little slick near water lines. Key considerations: Do not trust parking to work out. Would do again in a heartbeat.
