Quantified: The Subway breakdown. - Route: Out-and-back through Left Fork from Wildcat Canyon side - Weather: Cool morning air helped us move fast before the canyon warmed up. - Trail: Route finding was straightforward if we stayed on cairns and creek turns. - Water: Creek flow was moderate and easy to cross w/ poles. - Crowds: crowded Bottom line: Carry a small trash bag. The kind of day that resets perspective.
