Count me in for that 12th spot on your Subway permit! :banana:
I just scooped up a site in Watchman on Saturday night and I'd like to crash in the group site and BBQ on Sunday. Any details on the BBQ part as far as what to bring or how all of that usually works? This is my first Bogley Fest. Stoked! :mrgreen:
Do we have an alternate in case it doesn't open in time? It would be a long day but maybe a peek into the barracks?Quote:

Or maybe someone else from the group camping that night has room for an extra vehicle at their spot nearby? Also, is there a decent amount of tent space in these spots for more than a couple of tents? If we can figure that out, you are totally welcome, Pubalz.Quote:

Only one night and an early morning out; I doubt I'll put up a tent. I'm sure we can find a place to stash a car for a night. I'm looking forward to it!
I might come up for the BBQ. Can I hitch a ride with someone? :lol8:
The gas it takes to get there :scared: what time can I get into the park without paying? after 7pm?
Sweet. Sounds like you've got a spot with us on Saturday, Pubalz. I'll email you the details.
Chere and I are in an interesting pinch and curious as to some solutions. We will be driving in from STG to hike Subway on Sunday, pending it's opening. We have to leave our kiddos all day in STG which isn't a big deal since my oldest is 16 and they are fine to be alone. I've heard Subway is an all day hike. At what time are we starting the hike and at what time is an anticipated finish? How in the world are we going to hike all day, drive back to STG (no idea how long that takes) to get kiddos and come back to the BBQ? That sounds like a lot of work/drivetime.......suggestions? Especially after hiking all day? Am I being a weenie?:cry1:
it takes me about 40 minutes from my house to zion so.
santa clara -> washington -> hurricane -> la verkin -> springdale
so about an hour an a half round trip for me..
And we can aim for an early am start time. Trailhead coffee can be ready at 5 in the morning if you want to go that early...

The Subway should not be rushed. You should get an early start and enjoy the experience. :2thumbs:
Nice write up. Probably the best photo-free trip report ever. I'm ready to start at 5am now. :mrgreen:Quote:

If you have never been, going from the bottom is a very enjoyable adventure and is worth considering.Quote:
