Kit breakdown from The Subway:
We went Left Fork trailhead to the lower Subway section starting at 5:10 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.
Gear that worked: Electrolytes, Offline maps.
Neoprene socks and poles were the most useful items for this one.
The trail rewards the patient.
