We got lucky and won the lottery for a Zion Subway permit, so had a quick trip down to Utah and back last week \ud83d\ude42  This whole national park is incredible, and deserves more than just 2 days, but at least we got to see some of the best of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Subway is a 9.5 mile hike\/scramble from the trailhead, down steep canyon walls to get to the river, then up the canyon formed by the Left Fork of North Creek to an amazing area of waterfalls and rock formations. Water gets cold this time of year, but the weather was nice and we ended up not using the dry pants we had rented from an outfitter. Canyoneering boots and neoprene socks do come in very handy here, since your feet are continuously wet from hiking in and out of the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a strenuous hike, with miles of rock scrambling and hiking inside the  river itself, but worth every single drop of sweat.  This place is pure magic. A loaded bacon cheeseburger and an ice cold beer are recommended after completing this one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is so much magic in this place, it’s impossible to narrow down the photos any more.  Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
