The Subway with the kids. We went Out-and-back through Left Fork from Wildcat Canyon side starting at 5:35 AM. Cloud cover held until late morning and kept the slickrock from baking. Route finding was straightforward if we stayed on cairns and creek turns. The boring prep stuff matters. Quick notes: - Study the route at home. - Physical map as backup. - Trust the cairns.
