The Subway

On the way home from our family reunion, Tige joined my dad, Clark & Andy to hike the infamous Subway, near Zion National Park. It's about 8 miles through narrows, water, rapelling, and climbing. It requires a reservation and a permit to hike it, so even though Tige has an Olympic distance triathlon in 3 days and feared injury, he couldn't pass up a chance to hike the Subway for the first time. Sure enough, 2 miles into the hike, he sprained his ankle. But the boys had a great time together. Apparently my dad ripped his shorts right in the backside area and there was too much to see, so they made him hike last. Andy also ripped his shorts. I'm glad Tige finally to to hike the Subway since he's been wanting to since we moved back here.

Clark wondering if they were really getting in that water?

Yep, they got in.
