The Subway Hike

Start hiking at the Left Fork Trailhead. The trail starts relatively flat, and eventually reaches an abrupt edge. Follow the steep trail down to the canyon floor where you'll begin following the water upstream. There are trails on both sides of the stream that can be used, but you'll still have to cross the water multiple times, scramble over boulders, and walk on wet rocks.Along the way, don't forget to pause often and take in your surroundings. You'll find towering rock formations, cascading waterfalls, and quirky shapes carved into the stone by flowing water.The hike reaches its apex at The Subway feature. This is where the canyon wall encloses on the stream in a narrow part of the gorge, creating a cocoon of stone around you as you venture inside. Welcome to the Subway! This is a good place to relax and take a lot of photos before turning around to retrace your way back to your vehicle. On your way out, make sure to keep an eye out for the exit as it is easy to miss! The trail back to the parking area will be on your right, but the turn can be hard to see among creekside boulders and brush.
