The COMPLETE Guide: How to Hike The Subway (Bottom-Up) Zion National Park

We won the lottery!

Join us on this adventure as we tackle one of the most exclusive and challenging hikes in Zion National Park: The Subway via the bottom-up route (Left Fork of North Creek).

The bottom-up route means NO rappelling or complicated car shuttles, but it requires a grueling 9-mile round trip of hiking upstream through the North Creek, constantly wading through water, climbing over slick boulders, and scrambling over log jams to reach the iconic tunnel formation.

We break down everything you need to know: the gear specialization (neoprene socks are a must!), the specific logistics for the bottom-up trail, and the honest pros and cons of this strenuous approach.
Watch to see if the effort was worth the reward!
