The Subway at dusk hits different. We went Left Fork trailhead to the lower Subway section starting at 6:50 AM. Cloud cover held until late morning and kept the slickrock from baking. Rock steps were stable, with a few muddy pockets by the creek. Soft overcast made for even exposure all day. Short version: Phone battery backup. Still thinking about this one.
