Fauna notes from The Subway. 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. Footing was solid on the dry benches and a little slick near water lines. Wildlife/nature notes: No major wildlife encounters, just tracks in wet sand. Still thinking ~ this one.
