A short rappel off of a tree takes us down to the anchor for the final rappel.

The third rappel has some free-hanging goodness and a nice dry landing.

Looking down the very last drop near the confluence with the Left Fork. While you could rappel this, hiking around to join up with the Subway hikers' trail is simple enough. Now it's time to either continue down the Subway (separate permit required) or hike back up Russell Gulch to the Wildcat Trailhead!
