The hike up Left Fork Creek to the Subway takes you past many beautiful photography locations. Waterfalls, cascades and pools abound. If you can resist the temptation to pass them by whilst hurrying to the surreal Subway formation there’s some decent shots to be found.
Waterfall & Cottonwoods | Left Fork Creek
After around 2 miles we debunked for a rest stop, and found ourselves next to this giant pool, and I could not resist trying a shot. The richness of the colors, with deep blue water and the bright yellow and oranges from the cottonwoods and canyon wall behind. Plus I was determined to take away at least one non-archetypal Subway shot.
We stopped off on the hike out, which seemed to take half as long, for another break. One part of photography I enjoy the most is stepping back from the camera once in a while, sitting down, and just taking it all in.

This is one of the nicest “atypical” Subway shots I’ve seen! I like the fall colors and the canyon walls in the BG very much. Way to think outside of the box!
Loving your shots from this trip.
Cheers,
Greg
Much obliged Greg,
I got real lucky with the fall colors, especially along Left Fork Creek and around the Subway, where they seemed to have a vivid richness over and above other areas of the park we visited. I had just a blast on this trip I’m keen to book another for 2010!
