Took my time on The Subway. No rush. We went Out-and-back through Left Fork from Wildcat Canyon side starting at 6:25 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. Overall 5/5. Difficulty 4/5. Scenery 4/5. Preparation is everything. Tips - Do not trust parking to work out. - Keep music in your ears only.
