The Subway is the name for a uniquely-shaped canyon in Zion National Park. Canyoneering groups acknowledge two very popular routes through The Subway: from the top (a technical approach), and from the bottom. It is rated 2B II by the ACA Canyon Rating System.

The hike is off from the main entry of the park, and starts off the mouth of the Wildcat trial. The Subway canyon hike is most known for it's tube-like canyons deep in the hike. There is also parts on the hike where crossing water pools is needed.
