Real talk on The Subway. We went Left Fork approach with a quick weather check at dawn starting at 6:00 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. Overall 5/5. Difficulty 3/5. Scenery 4/5. You got this.
