A few days ago, Blake and I were discussing some of our favorites hikes. We have been on some great hikes together, so I thought I would compile a list of our top ten day hikes in Utah! Here they are in no specific order:

The Subway

Zion National Park is probably my favorite place in the world to visit. There is nothing comparable, to the pristine beauty and wonder that lives here.  Last weekend we had the opportunity to hike up Left Fork Creek (the Subway) in Zion's. There are two ways you can do this hike, both requiring a permit, bottom-up or top-down. Bottom-up doesn't have much technicality to it, it is a in and out hike. You hike in as far into the Subway that you can and then hike back on the same trail that you hiked to get there. Top-down is a lot more technical, there are several rappels and swimming. You start on a different trail and rappel down into the canyon and finish the hike on the same trail as bottom-up. Blake's sister, Alison, bought permits for bottom-up early and reserved the day for us to explore the Subway. Unfortunately, Alison and Eric weren't feeling well as the hike got closer so they couldn't make it. We missed them.
