The Subway Zion National Park

No guide services can take you here, but we can get you there.

The left fork of North Creek is known as the Subway for the nearly tunnel like aspect that the walls of this slot canyon have developed from centuries of flash flooding.

This is backcountry Zion national park at it very best. Pristine, lush, and remote this program requires a high degree of self reliance, stamina and preparation.

The National Park Service prohibits all commercial guiding of this route, which is where this program comes in.

As a return guest we will spend a few hours the day before reviewing the necessary rappelling and canyon travel techniques, as well as outfitting you with all of the necessary equipment, from harness’s and rappel devices to ropes and wetsuits.

You will need to travel to Zion national park that afternoon to pick up your backcountry permit for the Top down Subway hike.
