Fall Colors, The Subway, Zion National Park, Utah

Filed under: Utah, Zion on 11/10/2010

On the approach to The Subway in Zion National Park is this intriguing erosion slot, about 4″ wide. Water rushes through it, blurred in this photograph. The maples and cottonwoods were in their full fall color and their fallen leaves were everywhere.

Water rushes through a narrow crack, in the red sandstone of Zion National Park, with fallen autumn leaves

  1. Wow - I’ve seen many versions of this scene, but this is my favorite by far. Love the angle and the really soft light on the wet rock.

  2. Russ — many thanks! I often forget to look for these simple scenes, and am glad I took the time to shoot this, it is my favorite image of the trip.

  3. Beautiful. This shot was one of my primary goals for the trip, and the conditions were perfect. Very nice composition.

  4. The overcast skies meant the subway was blah, but the falls and this slot really looked good. Thanks!
