The Subway has some interesting history.
We went Out-and-back through Left Fork from Wildcat Canyon side starting at 4:45 AM. Cloud cover held until late morning and kept the slickrock from baking. Route finding was straightforward if we stayed on cairns and creek turns.
Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=4, views=5
TLDR: Know the signs of altitude.
Some trips stay with you.
