Left Fork Canyon, Zion National Park

This has been officially added to my list of all time favorite hikes. Last week was my second visit and I was even more enamored than before…
Left Fork Canyon, Zion National Park
Sometimes known as the “Subway”, Left Fork Canyon is out of the main section of the park. To get there you need to go north on the Kolob Reservoir Road, out of Virgin. Permits are required for ANY hiking there, which is a wonderful thing as it makes for a real wilderness experience which is totally unlike hiking in the Zion Canyon part of the park.
The “subway” name comes from the shape of the canyon walls, as you can see here.

A truly stunning location. Make sure to book a permit before you head down there next time, you will not be disappointed!

The Subway, Zion National Park

Just returned from Zion National Park. One of the hikes there is along the Left Fork. It’s an absolutely unbelievably stunning trek, passing too-numerous-to-count water falls, the canyon is ringed with sumptuous peaks and ends at the entrance to The Subway. Here are a few images, both from the entrance and just inside the subway tunnel…
