The Subway terrain assessment.
We went Left Fork approach with a quick weather check at dawn starting at 6:25 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.
Overall 5/5. Difficulty 4/5. Scenery 4/5.
The trail rewards the patient.
