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.
