Subway Canyon Rolled Canvas Prints
The Subway is the most popular backcountry hike in Zion, and for good reason! In a park of exemplary beauty, The Subway is one of the most diverse and beautiful canyons not to be missed. A few short rappels and a couple of short, mandatory swims add spice to the adventure. The Subway is a short, spectacular section of the left fork of North Creek. The canyon system is called the Great West Canyon, including both the left and right forks. The Subway section is not marked on maps, but is where the left fork tightens up and twists sharply, between North Guardian Angel and Guardian Angel Pass. The hike is also known as The Left Fork. This is a strenuous 9 mile round trip hike through the left fork of North Creek that requires route finding, creek crossing, and scrambling over boulders. This hike begins and ends at the Left Fork Trailhead on the Kolob Terrace Road. Visitors are encouraged to do the trip with an experienced hiker of The Subway or obtain a detailed route description. The Subway is a day use area only. The route starts at the Wildcat Canyon Trailhead and descends to the Left Fork via a cross country route that crosses Russell Gulch, walks out a ridge and descends a steep gully. The Left Fork is followed through The Subway, then down canyon a few miles. A short, steep trail is then climbed to the road, ending at the Left Fork Trailhead. Due to its popularity, The Subway is managed under a quota system. Reservations are distributed by lottery several months in advance and are highly recommended.
