The Subway, Slot canyon in Washington County, United States.
The Subway features a tubular passage carved by the Left Fork North Creek, with walls that curve inward to form a cylindrical chamber.
Water erosion over millions of years has sculpted this section of the Great West Canyon into its current form between North and South Guardian Angels.
Photographers and outdoor enthusiasts travel from across the globe to capture images of the natural rock formations and cascading waterfalls.
The eight-mile round trip hike through the canyon requires a wilderness permit, proper gear for wet conditions, and takes between five to nine hours.
The canyon floor contains several cascades and pools that reflect red light from the curved sandstone walls onto the water surface.
