The light on Zion that morning was something else.
The route was Left Fork trailhead to the lower Subway section. Cool morning air helped us move fast before the canyon warmed up. Route finding was straightforward if we stayed on cairns and creek turns. We had moderate company on the trail.
Plan accordingly.
Quick notes:
- Slow down on muddy sections.
- Poles help more than you think.
