The Subway is a spectacular stone formation. The river carved a tunnel-like system into the sandstone walls.

There are two ways you can get to The Subway (the Left Fork of North Creek). Both ways involve extensive route finding and a detailed route description.

From the Bottom Up

You have to hike a strenuous 9-mile round-trip through the Left Fork of North Creek. It requires route finding, creek crossing, and scrambling over boulders. You start and end at the Left Fork Trailhead on the Kolob Terrace Road.

From the Top Down

You will have to hike a strenuous 9.5-mile hike that requires rappelling skills, 60 feet of rope, and extensive route finding experience. The route also requires swimming through several deep pools of very cold debris-filled water. You start at the Wildcat Canyon Trailhead and end at the Left Fork Trailhead. Both trailheads are located on the Kolob Terrace Road.

Permits are required regardless of the direction of travel. Always check the weather before you start your hike for possible flash floods.
