| no partners | | My second trip down Subway via the top-down route. 
This is a fun canyon with fairly long hikes on both the approach and exit. The technical part of the canyon isn't all that difficult or long, so suitable for most any experienced hiker. Extremely scenic as a bonus for any photographers in the group.
Warm air temperatures meant we didn't need wetsuits. Some of the swims are quite cold because sun never hits some of the pools and springs add their own cold water along the way, but this is a fairly open canyon in places, meaning there are always nearby patches of sun to warm up in as needed.
The hike out after the subway portion was its usual lengthy self. Especially long with our group of less "broken-in" hikers.
As I felt last time, this canyon is definitely worth doing again, but I probably won't be back soon. Das Boot sounds like it adds to the experience, so maybe try for the combo? |
