Done The Subway a few times now. Here is the latest. We went Out-and-back through Left Fork from Wildcat Canyon side starting at 6:50 AM. Wind stayed light, which made the river sections easier to handle. Rock steps were stable, w/ a few muddy pockets by the creek. Ratings: 5 overall, 4 difficulty, 4 scenery. The boring prep stuff matters.
