Photo notes from The Subway.
We went Out-and-back through Left Fork from Wildcat Canyon side starting at 4:45 AM. Cloud cover held until late morning and kept the slickrock from baking. Footing was solid on the dry benches and a little slick near water lines.
Soft overcast made for even exposure all day.
Still thinking about this one.
