Straight talk about The Subway. We went Out-and-back through Left Fork from Wildcat Canyon side starting at 5:10 AM. Wind stayed light, which made the river sections easier to handle. Footing was solid on the dry benches and a little slick near water lines. Ratings: 5 overall, 4 difficulty, 5 scenery. 10/10 would recommend.
