Thread: Zion Permit Line

Hey Guys -
Stood in line this morning for an early hour with my new best friends all waiting for Subway permits (not me but the rest of the folks there) and everyone was great about keeping the line according to arrival time. They opened up both windows but everyone just stood in the one line and went to either window as it cleared. People brought camp chairs and were given no hassle. Sign clearly posted on window says no camping allowed and defines camping as using any sort of sleeping bag or roll. Says violators may be fined and asked to leave the line.
Good Luck Bruce.

Yeah.... I've never had a problem with the folks in line trying to cut or anything. Everyone just kinda mingles, chats and takes their appropriate turn.
I'm happy to hear they are opening two windows. Thats new..... but then again.... its been at least a years since I stood in that dumbass line. Somehow I've been able to avoid it lately.

Thanks Utah Godess for the information.
What time did you get in line and what time did the first person get there? May I assume that the first one was looking for Subway permit?

Mystery is probably the toughest permit to get. Only 12 total, 6 reserved and 6 walkup.
Also, folks standing in line will usually tell you what permit they are getting and how many so you can do the math without waiting for hours. I've seen folks camp for West Rim so you just never know.

Thanks but I think you got the numbers reversed. 30 through lottery and 20 walkup.
I've already called Zion and asked why the site is down again, how much they're paying their webmaster and why they are not getting the support they need?

Zion Backcountry Permit website is back up. It shows 20 permits reserved.
When the reservation system was first initiated I was told by a top park official that at least 1/2 of all permits would remain available for walk-ups....... but that doesn't mean they will not change the rules somewhere down the line.
Anyhoo.... that should help your odds.....
I suggest you also have a fall back plan ready if the permits are all gone, maybe Orderville?
Good Luck!

Bruce, I can't remember when you said you were going to do Subway.... but.... The Kolob Terrace Road is currently closed because of wildfires.
This means that The Subway is closed.
Better keep your eyes on the fire conditions and have a back-up plan.
