Das Boot
verified
ACA 3B
Unknown flood risk
Virgin, UT
The stretch of the Left Fork of North Creek directly above the Subway proper: three rappels, longest 66 feet, and almost nobody runs it on its own.
Two permits, one payment. Zion books this canyon under the name Upper Left Fork (Das Boot) and the Subway comes out of a separate seasonal lottery, so a linked day means winning the lottery and reserving Das Boot independently. At the Wilderness Desk you pay for a single permit covering both. That same Upper Left Fork permit also covers the longer Upper Left Fork section above Das Boot, so be clear which one you actually want before you apply.
