I had 3 days to spend in Zion after 4 days of driving and hiking all through Utah. Upon arriving I asked if by chance there were any permits still available for The Subway since I had failed in getting one 2 weeks prior. Sure enough they had one for me and my entire schedule was immediately changed so that I could fit in this strenuous 9 mile hike.with nothing by rock scrambling and river crossings, you finally come to this amazing place which now holds number 1 for me in best payoff hikes.
