Timeline and stats from The Subway: - Route: Left Fork trailhead to the lower Subway section - Weather: Wind stayed light, which made the river sections easier to handle. - Trail: Rock steps were stable, w/ a few muddy pockets by the creek. - Water: Water was running and cold, so we packed extra socks for the exit. - Crowds: moderate Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=3, views=5 TLDR: Sunglasses are not optional. Still thinking ~ this one.
