The Subway was a side trip off the main route. We went Left Fork approach with a quick weather check at dawn starting at 5:35 AM. Wind stayed light, which made the river sections easier to handle. Route finding was straightforward if we stayed on cairns and creek turns. TLDR: Move over for faster hikers. Already planning the next one.
