Wildlife sightings on The Subway: We went Out-and-back through Left Fork from Wildcat Canyon side starting at 5:35 AM cool morning air helped us move fast before the canyon warmed up rock steps were stable, w/ a few muddy pockets by the creek. Wildlife/nature notes: Only saw small lizards and birds near warm rock shelves. Preparation is everything.
