02 - The Subway Trail

  We arrived at Zion and grabbed a permit for the Subway Trail top-to-bottom.  The next morning we headed out to Kolob Canyon, parked one car at the exit before heading to the trailhead and began the full day trek.  

  We began the day in beautiful morning sunshine as we hiked further in to the park.

   Soon we began descending on slick-rock down in to the canyon area.

   Finally we came to the entrance to the canyon.  We descended a steep set of rocky drops down to the canyon floor.

  From here we put on our wetsuits and climbing harnesses and descended in to the slot canyon...
