The COMPLETE Guide: How to Hike The Subway (Bottom-Up) Zion National Park

We won the lottery! Join us on this adventure as we tackle one of the most exclusive and challenging hikes in Zion National Park: The Subway via the bottom-up route (Left Fork of North Creek). The bottom-up route means NO rappelling or complicated car shuttles, but it requires a grueling 9-mile round trip of hiking upstream through the North Creek, constantly wading through water, climbing over slick boulders, and scrambling over log jams to reach the iconic tunnel formation. We break down everything you need to know: the gear specialization (neoprene socks are a must!), the specific logistics for the bottom-up trail, and the honest pros and cons of this strenuous approach. Watch to see if the effort was worth the reward! 🔗 LINKS & GEAR WE USE (Shop and Support us): Neoprene Socks: https://amzn.to/4pDKvgy Joshua’s Hiking Shoes: https://amzn.to/49H8R4c Karla’s Hiking Shoes: https://amzn.to/4p6ZY8X Joshua’s Waterproof Pants: https://amzn.to/4pIbh7v 🔗 FILMING GEAR (Shop and Support us): Osmo Pocket 3: https://amzn.to/4p00NAr DJI Mic 2 (White): https://amzn.to/48bfPvR Karla’s Camera Bag: https://amzn.to/48eyOpk SD Card: https://amzn.to/48EebEl If you shop the links above, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. 🙂 Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:20 THE SUBWAY: How to Get a Permit 2:16 Gear Prep Deep Dive 7:20 Early Morning Start 10:25 Obstacles, Obstacles, Obstacles 16:30 Reaching the Subway 17:30 The Walk Back 21:59 Tips and Advice from our Experience #zionnationalpark #fulltimerv #mountains #utah #travel #hiking #canyoneering #nationalpark #rvlife #vanlife #hikingtips #slotcanyon #adventurevlog #zionsubway #outdoorvlog #travelvlog #rvtravel #dji
