If you are prepping for The Subway, read this first.
We went Left Fork trailhead to the lower Subway section starting at 6:25 AM. Cool morning air helped us move fast before the canyon warmed up. Rock steps were stable, w/ a few muddy pockets by the creek.
Key considerations: Have a turnaround time.
Bottom line: Download your map before you lose service.
Days like this are why I hike.
