The Subway in Zion (Oct 2005)


In October 2005, I hiked with my hiking buddy, Mike Burkley, 4.5 miles up the Left Fork or North Fork of the Virgin River, aka. 'The Subway'. This is a fun hike any time of the year, but is especially neat with the fall colors. It has dinosaur tracks, cascades, waterfalls, slots, swimming holes (great in the summer), slickrock, forests, plunge pools, and the famous subway-shaped tunnel slot.
















Here we are posing next to an incredible series of cascades that runs the length of a football field.
