Stunning. Cold. Need thicker booties when ice us present (3mm only). Very beginner friendly when not frozen. Bring a camera. |

Did own shuttle and started at sunrise. Lovely day, hike in was picturesque (mini wave!), passed a family with no wetsuits and possibly no gps (they ended up following us after asking for directions). Some downclimbs, swims, and wading. Just a few rappels and we used anchors on right for last rap into subway. (group camping near us had an accident at the base of this rap - took them 12 hrs to get out!). Hike out was same as i remembered. Just over 9 hours for the group of 7 of us. Ed, Patricia, Tom, April, Ellie, Chris, and myself. |

This was my second time doing the Subway. This time we added Das Boot. The top down is truly the only way to enjoy this hike. |

With Aud (HBD Leah!). Started at 9:50a, finished at 3p. leapfrogged with one other group of 2 guys from the trailhead. beautiful clear water, fun splashing around. happy to have wetsuits for an anything goes mentality. a few swims. Not sure I consider it an ultra-classic, but glad to have experienced it. |

Trip with Hunter and Whitney. Navigation was easy with GPS and I think I could do it again without if needed having gone through once. Social trails are usually pretty obvious. Sarah and I wore shorty wetsuits and the day was mid to upper 80s.. I thought shorty wetsuits were just about perfect. We didn't try the first downclimb because it was a great place to instruct Whitney and Hunter on a first rappel. This canyon wasn't technically demanding but was absolutely stunning and Sarah's favorite. |

What an amazing canyon, the approach is just majestic. 6 of us enjoyed the canyon mostly on our own. Large group behind us caught us at the first rap were we leapfrogged a slower group. Pool are just awesome. No wet suits, some got a little chilly at the final rap, but warmed up soon after in the sun. We did it in 10 hours, took our time and enjoyed, played in the pools, slide were we can! |

Amazing in every respect. The last rappel was the only one where we needed a rope, even with 5 kids from 10-15. The upper pools were quite cold, but refreshing given the high temps. |

Guessing on date. Very few repels and a couple could be down climbed but one in particular drops off with the water into a small pool and you need to repel off of it to stay safe |
