2026-02-21. The Subway. 2-day.
Route: Out-and-back through Left Fork from Wildcat Canyon side. Weather: Wind stayed light, which made the river sections easier to handle.. Trail: Footing was solid on the dry benches and a little slick near water lines.. Water: Creek flow was moderate and easy to cross with poles.. Crowds: crowded.
Overall 4/5. Difficulty 3/5. Scenery 4/5.
Do your homework first.
Quick notes:
- Know the signs of altitude.
- Test new gear before the trip.
- Bring the rain layer even if clear.
