I have been coming here for years. The Subway update.
We went Left Fork approach with a quick weather check at dawn starting at 4:45 AM. Cool morning air helped us move fast before the canyon warmed up. Route finding was straightforward if we stayed on cairns and creek turns.
Ratings: 5 overall, 5 difficulty, 4 scenery.
Plan accordingly.
Quick notes:
- Tape hot spots before they blister.
- Gaiters for scree.
- Sunglasses are not optional.
- Download your map before you lose service.
- Poles help more than you think.
