The Subway from the bottom up is a wonderful journey any time of the year. While I wouldn't go in snow, it is definitely worth going during warm winter days as you can have the entire canyon (almost) to yourself! The "trail" is rough going as it crosses the creek, boulders and trees numerous times. In addition, you must be prepared for a long climb back up to the trailhead at the end of the day! The canyon itself is gorgeous as are the crystal clear waters of North Creek. I carried a UV Filter water bottle so that I could drink whenever I felt like it without the burden of heavy water bottles. This hike is a must do for the intrepid!

This was a lovely and interesting hike. I considered it easy-moderate. The Double Arch Alcove at the turn around was fantastic. This was lightly trafficked out and a bit denser back. About 40% of the other hikers did not wear masks.

Great Hike. I actually filmed coming down so you would get a chance to see it. Check out Proof Possible - Angel’s Landing Zion Hike.

This was a nice out and back trail. The best part is that if you have time to kill before you get on a Zion bus, this is a great hike that takes you along the River and also gets you to a cool lookout for some views.

This is the Must Do hike of Zion. Be prepared for the weather. We went on a day it was in the 70s - not in the Narrows as between the cool water (60s) and the lack of sun because of the canyon walls - it was cool. Also it is very important to look at water flow. I found this on a website that monitored the water flow of the river. This was a great experience even though I carried my 6 year old over any water that was higher than her knees. :)

This was a great child friendly easier hike. There was some changes in elevation but it was a great hike.

Interesting terrain with some very narrow sections. However sandy and rocky and a fair amount of road noise.

Generally easy with a couple of challenging spots and a steep sandy ascent to the saddle

Gorgeous hike along a creek, beautiful views, weather was perfect in early October. I did this toward the end of the day, and I’d recommend that, tho it would be beautiful any time.

We got a late start so I didn’t get to spend as much time at the Subway as I would have liked, but it was beautiful and the GPS made it really easy to find the path for the ascent at the end.

Nice hike but not many views, good hike to add a few miles to the west rim hike. The trail is 1/2 open to sun & 1/2 shaded with trees. There are a few other trails that fork off this one which are very cool, good views.

Short 3 1/2 mile in hike, you follow a stream the entire way which you cross about 20 times. Water is clean so you can filter. The hike is easy with a couple of light moderate sections which could be difficult for the elderly. Giant cave at the end of the trail.

Blends elements of what makes Zion and the Grand Canyon famous and going from the top down means you don’t have to hike back out. Plus you can easily add Angels Landing (which I did not do this time) to the route and turn a great hike into an epic hike.

Great views from up high. A bit crowded so go early also to avoid the heat.

Amazing experience but go early to beat the crowds. Also we have to walk the Scenic Drive because the shuttles were closed so it made for a long day (20 miles).

This is an easy hike through forests and Meadows. Perhaps a little bit boring. But generally very nice and pretty.

Angels landing with a jaunt further on the west rim trail. Angel’s Landing was great but crowded on our return... go early!

Great hike with amazing views. Make sure to get a very early start to avoid the crowds!

One of the greatest experiences of my life! Get there early! The climb up is not too difficult. The angels landing part is pretty scary but fun. Take your time, carry a small pack with a drink and snacks. No hiking poles needed, you will need your hands. If you get there early you will be done and at the bottom by lunch.

Awesome hike at sunset. It was 104F coming into the park but at the trail the temp was only 80F. Beautiful views of Kolob Canyon mountains.

This is a great hike! The software makes it super nice to find your way out. I had heard stories of hikers missing the trial up out of the canyon. I used the software to easily identify the way out. The hike is amazaing! So much water and beauty. I would do again, but not for awhile - I was tired by the time I got out. I packed water, but also had a filter - I drank at least 3 liters of water on the hike.

Went end of June and unfortunately the waterfall was dried up. Probably need to go earlier in the year. Insane amount of tiny flies in the parking area but along the trail wasn’t bad. Gorgeous hike in spite of the fact we didn’t get to dunk under the falls at the end.

This is where you park to hike about 100 yards to a flat rocky plateau to photograph the Zion crooked tree.

This was a hike that was brutal from start to finish. Started at the rim of the canyon at 9:00 am and came out about 5:00 pm. You can judge that comment as it came from a 62 year old male who discovered he ain’t as young as he used to be. You basically get to the river and make your own way in and back, scrambling over boulders and crossing the river more times than you could remember. Would I do it again? ABSOLUTELY YES! I couldn’t walk well for two days but now I know I need to work on the legs before anything like this hike again. Do not get caught down there if rain is in the forecast or you could be looking for a high perch to wait out the rush of water. Feeling adventurous, go for it!

Out and back to hidden arch. Crosses stream many times. Your feet will get wet. The views of the towers on both sides are fantastic. Ends in a river area.
