Solo on The Subway. Just me and the trail. We went Out-and-back through Left Fork from Wildcat Canyon side starting at 6:50 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. Worth every bit of effort.
