I was just looking through Sandro 's pics on Facebook and noticed an interesting change in the Zion Subway that must have happened this summer. Right before the last rap, there is a spot where you walk across the head of a big waterfall on a smashed up log. For at least that last couple of years, there has always been a really big log leaning up against the wall that you had to duck under here. I know during high water it has been used as a rappel anchor and some, like FourisTheNewOne, have even utilized it to get up and down without needing to rappel.

Here's Sandro's pic from August 21, 2012 of the crossing missing the big log:

And a couple pics of mine from earlier this year and last year of the log in place:
