Great video! Good thing I watched the video or I wouldn't have known that my shoes would be inadequate for this hike. My shoes would have been soaked

@n4rwhalsintheocean Yeah, we used some really durable sandles. Our feet were pretty wrecked afterwards, but it was a pretty good option. I don't think there are really any great ways to protect your feet out there. You'll love the hike though!

I hiked down that trail with my scout troop. It was brutal but very fun. i remember i had a emergency pack that had a fish hook and line, i wraped it around a stick and caught to fish. Sadly on the way back i hooked my finger about a inch deep and had to pull it out the barb and all. IT SUCKED but it was one of my most favorite hikes of all.

Congrats on getting through your surgery and making it back into the Subway!

A group of us hiked to the same location you guys were at on October 29th of this year. My guess is that you went in before August? When we went back into the waterfall, the log you video taped was no longer there. Word has it that a big flash flood in the summer swept through and really cleaned out the canyon. Glad to see you overcame your obstacle and conquered another. Thanks for sharing!

@fastpony71 We were there in Late July. Thanks for your comment, that is really interesting that the big log is gone. Do you have any video? I hear the water is super cold about now.... we wanna go back!

Thanks for the "Bottom Up" tour! Looking forward to a November 2010 trip, but it will be colder I'm sure!

@scoutchuck bring a video camera and post it as a video response! We'd love to see what it looks like in November!!!!!

@fitnesstrainingbyjon I blew out my left calf at Red Rock Canyon four days before the scheduled Subway hike. Needless to say, I was sick! Drove by the parking lot the day before (just had too) and an EMS and four rangers were extracting someone out (hypothermia). Three inches of snow at Lava Point.

@scoutchuck that's unbelievable... what a bummer! Hope you get better soon. I can imagine the trip is 100% different in the winter. Must be freeeeeeezzzzziiiiiiiiiiinnnnn­nnnnnngg! The water is pretty cold in the summer in 95 degree heat.

Did you take pictures?
