The Subway on a budget. We went Left Fork trailhead to the lower Subway section starting at 5:10 AM. Cloud cover held until late morning and kept the slickrock from baking. Route finding was straightforward if we stayed on cairns and creek turns. Ratings: 5 overall, 4 difficulty, 5 scenery. Would do again in a heartbeat.
