Zion National Park - The Subway

The Subway



The Subway is a well known spot for photographer and beginning canyoneers. Its a pretty slot canyon that is easy to navigate, but it does require swimming through some cold pools. The pools in the summer are done without a wetsuit and that makes the hike all that more popular. The potholes and the lighting are what make The Subway something special. Water runs through The Subway splashing through the pot holes, algae grows giving a green hue to the water polished rocks below.

There is one drawback to The Subway and that's the steep, uphill hike to get out!
