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.
