And the people bowed and prayedTo the neon god they madeAnd the sign flashed out its warningIn the words that it was formingAnd the sign said
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls..."
~Paul Simon 1964

The subway that Paul Simon wrote about was located in New York City. As I grew up the New York, I am all too familiar with it. With 468 stations and 209 miles of routes, it handles over 5 million riders each day on peak days. It is about as far from the wilderness as one can get in the United States.
In a little known spectacular canyon, in the remote section of the state of Utah, there is another subway. It has no trains or tracks, and even though it sees about 80 visitors each day on peak days, it is a wonder to behold. This lesser known subway is located in the Left Fork of North Creek in Zion National Park. It is one of the photographic gems of the southwestern US.
