18Hike the Zion Subway, Bottom-Up
This out-and-back Utah adventure begins at the lesser-known Left Fork Trailhead located on Kolob Terrace Road near the little town of Virgin outside of popular Zion National Park. The hike requires a permit and has a total distance of almost seven miles. More importantly, it leads you to one of the park’s most beautiful attractions, The Subway.
You can cool off and even go swimming in the pools located above the well-known Subway. Dress appropriately too as a great portion of this hike will take you through the Virgin River. Be sure to wander off the trail for a little bit to check out the dinosaur tracks and the cascading water as well too!
19Hike Angel’s Landing at Night
If you’re vacationing in Zion National Park, this is an exceptional nighttime activity! This is an out-and-back hike with a total distance of under five miles. The elevation gain here is 1,512 feet.
This is one of the park’s most popular hikes. Zion offers amazing night views of the canyon to those with no fear of the dark. It makes a great day hike too but nighttime is a great time to see the place with headlamps.
Indeed, Angel’s Landing is even more breathtaking once the sun goes down. Park at or near the Grotto. The trailhead for this hike is across the river, to the right, and uncrowded at night.
