Historical context for The Subway:
We went Left Fork approach with a quick weather check at dawn starting at 4:45 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.
Overall 4/5. Difficulty 3/5. Scenery 5/5.
Grateful for this one.
