Hoping that some fall colors would still be in the lower elevations of Zion, I went back. Once again I was not disappointed- chilly weather, not many hikers on the trail and beautiful colors.
I took the trail that leads to the Zion Subway, which was a cool day hike up a beautiful canyon. The trail follows the Left Fork of North Creek, and just before entering the Subway there is a point where nearly the entire river flows through a deep crack not much wider than a leaf (pictured above).
These aren't the best photos to illustrate why it is called the subway, but maybe you get the idea. This area of the canyon really looks like it was made for a train- it's pretty amazing the way different types of stone in different circumstances erode and what they form. This is a post from a few years back to
Antelope Canyon not too far away in Page, AZ.
