Local perspective on The Subway.
We went Left Fork approach with a quick weather check at dawn starting at 4:45 AM. Wind stayed light, which made the river sections easier to handle. Rock steps were stable, with a few muddy pockets by the creek.
Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=5, views=4
Grateful for this one.
