I have been coming here for years. The Subway update.
We went Left Fork trailhead to the lower Subway section starting at 5:10 AM. Cool morning air helped us move fast before the canyon warmed up. Rock steps were stable, with a few muddy pockets by the creek.
Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=5, views=4
Bottom line: Bring one extra liter.
Would do again in a heartbeat.
Quick notes:
- Start earlier than you think.
- Poles help more than you think.
- Slow down on muddy sections.
- Physical map as backup.
- Bring one extra liter.
