Zion Subway Part II

You may recall my May 26, 2022 newsletter My experience with the Zion Subway was remarkable, and I was thrilled to take the opportunity for another adventure. Earlier in June, our group of nine embarked on the standard route on June 10, 2023, revisiting the Subway.

Initially, you'll need to obtain permits to access the Subway. Upon returning to our vehicle, we noticed rangers inspecting permits, and we saw another group being fined for not having them. As I previously mentioned in a newsletter, permits for popular hikes in Zion can be requested as early as six months in advance. Given the popularity of hikes like the Subway, camping in the Narrows, and Angel’s Landing, it's advisable to apply for permits exactly six months ahead. It's unfortunate that securing these permits involves navigating through bureaucratic procedures well in advance to enjoy many sought-after hikes in the southwest, but the downside of overcrowding would be far less appealing.

Rappelling into the Subway can be done in three different ways, each requiring a car shuttle. The hike begins with a pleasant downhill trek through a relatively untouched part of Zion. The trail can be tricky to navigate, so it's essential to have someone in your group who knows the way. After a few hours, you'll find yourself descending into a location that resembles 'the Wave' in Arizona. canyon. Then the excitement begins.

Many of the rappels are short enough that they can be downclimbed, but the last one essentially mandates a rappel, unless there’s an alternative method I’m unaware of. I believe this area closely resembles a smaller version of the primary Subway tunnel.

Words fail to adequately capture its beauty, so I’ll share some photographs. The subway tunnel area is not very extensive, but it's the only part that necessitates rappelling. Below this lies the most stunning portion of the Subway. This is the central area of the Subway. This fallen log appears to be a favorite among photographers. long, so make the most of it.
