Angels Landing

a great little hike if your an avid outdoors person. maybe a bit challenging for those that are not very active. it was a very dynamic experience delivering beautiful views for every angle. make sure you apply for the lottery. I applied for the day before lottery and won the first time.

There’s a reason this is one of the top rated hikes in the country. Take your time and the right shoes and you’ll be more than safe! And the view is world class at the top! We went just out of season, if you want to maximize your chances of getting the lottery go for the “before 9” option.

Angels Landing is one of Zion National Park’s most famous and exhilarating hikes. The 5.4-mile round trip takes you to a stunning viewpoint with sweeping views of Zion Canyon. The trail is notorious for its steep ascent, narrow ridgelines, and chains bolted into the rock to assist climbers along the most exposed sections. It’s a physically demanding and thrilling experience, best suited for experienced hikers not afraid of heights. The reward, however, is one of the most jaw-dropping vistas in the entire park, making it a bucket-list hike for many adventurers.

Legendary trail in Zion National Park is a minimum four-hour commitment. Trail is strenuous, steep and narrow with chained rails along the way to hold onto for stability. Park rangers check lottery permits to commence this hike from Scout's Lookout. As a thrill seeker I highly recommend this adventure.

For anyone considering doing Angels Landing hike, here is the best advice you’ll hear: First off, a lot of people get scared off because this is officially the hardest hike in North America. The reason for this rating is not due to the actual difficulty of the hike, but rather due to the fact that many people don’t bring enough water and get dangerously dehydrated. BRING LOTS OF WATER! You’ll need AT LEAST SEVEN water bottles, and make sure to freeze them the night before or you’ll be drinking hot water. Secondly: DO NOT STOP FREQUENTLY FOR PICTURES! Besides for being annoying to other hikers and making people wait for you, posing for a photo on a 2000 foot cliff is not the smartest idea and people lose their footing without realizing it. There are a few spots where you can rest up, and you can take your pictures then. There’s no need to stop every five seconds. Third: Regarding the difficulty of the hike itself, it is very overrated. I myself have basic hiking experience and am in decent shape. There is nothing impossible about this hike. Once you get to the Grotto, which is the last stretch of the hike, you will need to use chains to hoist yourself up parts of the mountain. On both sides of you are drops more then 1000 feet deep. If you are scared of heights, this hike will confront those fears to the max. But it is not that difficult. For me, the most exhausting part was the 21 switchbacks where your basically climbing up a steep winding staircase. Make sure to drink a lot of water then because it only gets more strenuous. Lastly, WEAR GOOD SHOES. I personally wore an old pair of Yeezys and by the chains part my feet were slipping. Overall, Anyone can do this hike ( unless you have a really bad fear of heights) and the payout is extremely rewarding. The views are beautiful. And best of all, you walk out with an incredible feeling of accomplishment.

Absolutely amazing views. A bit challenging but doable. Park rangers checks for permit to hike the last part, get permit before doing the trail. Permit is online.

One of the most infamous hikes in any National Park, and it is beyond worth it if you are up to the challenge. Honestly it is not too bad if you are a decently experienced hiker. The views are absolutely incredible and a great reward for completely the trek. It can be crowded since it is such a popular trail.

Very nice hike and definitely not too difficult. You will enjoy great views and natue
