Critique: NC:

Was in Zion over Labor Day blowing my knees out by hiking 20 miles in two days.
But it was worth it to check off the Subway from my bucket list.

Here are a few favorites from the trip.

Gotta have the Subway of course.

Very nice images! I really like your Subway images - looks like you did a slightly different and better than the normal composition. Those places are still on my bucket list of places to shoot - thanks for the reminder.

They're beautiful, and I'm jealous. Now I have to put that on my list.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice series; love all the moving water. I have not heard of this park, but I agree that it's amazing and a must visit location. My favorite is #1.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.
Hiking the Subway was the toughest hike I have done.
Mainly because of 4.5 miles of constant scrambeling over boulders, trees and up and down the canyon wall when the floor was not navigatable.
But it was worth it.

Wow, those are fabulous! I especially like the famous crack one with the soft water. Never been to this place either and don't think my ole 50-y-o body could make it now. :(
