Zion NP - Subway - July 30
I apparently missed signing up for a permit for the Subway (Top down route) by mere seconds for July 30th. I am still planning on being at the permit desk early Friday morning to see if I can get one, but I've never done the Subway before and I've never had to get a permit before. Approximately what time should I be at the desk for the best chance of success on Friday morning? If I am unable to obtain a permit what other routes would you suggest for an amateur canyoneer? Also, I will get to Zion fairly late Thursday night, where should I look for a place to camp? Any other thoughts?
Also, I'm looking to find some buddies who wouldn't mind me tagging along on some routes. Thanks for any replies. Anthony

I have shown up at 4:30-5:00 and not been skunked twice. That gives me a 22% success ratio. But yeah there is always someone there around midnight waiting. Usually a person who flew in from Europe on their vacation and needs it way worse than I do.
Get Orderville as a backup plan.Your safety is not my responsibility.

Also consider....
Zion Narrows - Top Down

If you are solo or a small group combining either Narrows or Orderville with the ZAC shuttle deal going on right makes for a bargain and great trip in my humble opinion. I hate cleaning up that shuttle at the end of the day....
