    Differing opinions then, I agree that going up sucked, but I felt it sucked about the same as going down and if you go up the car shuttle is MUCH easier.

    Are you implying that it is our choice to get a narrows permit or are you implying you will help pay my fine for not getting a narrows permit?

    Just clarifying your statement

    I don't think I'm implying either. I'm telling what our experience was last summer. We were issued a permit for Checkerboard at the Kolob desk(that may be relevant). Showed the ranger where it was on the map, was never told we needed another permit for the narrows. She knew we would be hiking down the narrows. We never saw a ranger all day which is typical of my experience in Zion.

    There are rules. I don't agree with them, but they are there. I just don't like encouraging others on an open forum to do something against park policy. My ticket is $175 for not having a narrows permit. Everyone has a choice as to whether or not to get permits, but there is a consequence.

    We got checked again the following weekend also right where Das Boot and the standard Subway entrance meet. 2 weekend in a row with rangers in the canyons checking permits.
