Do not want to sound sour, but CA-2 year is actually the toughest one.
At least it was for me. And the CA-1 was the easiest year throughout the whole 4 years.

supposedly at my program we are pretty front loaded in CA-1 so I actually am happy. everyone here argues whether CA2 or CA3 is the best year.... i am guessing CA3, 'cause its almost over!

We have been pretty front loaded during CA-1 as well. However, there are different expectations and much different responsibilities as you proceed with your seniority. In my program CA-2 is also mostly subspecialty rotations and some of them were tough. And hours were longer than during CA-1 year. And calls were worse.
CA-3 is easier, because you are usually not worked to death anymore 🙂
