The permit/parking/access details for 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, with a few muddy pockets by the creek. Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=3, views=4 Short version: Turnaround time is not negotiable. Preparation is everything.
