Description
Angel's Landing
Angel's landing is a rock formation rising nearly 1500 feet from the valley in Zion National Park, Utah. The summit stands at 5790 feet in elevation. This is one of my favorite hike in the world. You start at the Grotto stop on the valley shuttle route and start your ascend through a series of steep switchbacks. After 2 miles of strenuous hiking you come to a point called scout lookout, from where this photo was taken and where many people stop or turn around. the last half mile is the real challenge. A chain is anchored to help you get up this very narrow ridge with over 1000 foot cliffs on each side. Not for the faint of heart.
The reward at the summit is a spectacular view of Zion Valley.
Bring lots of water and a snack and admire the view from up there.
Photo taken with Canon 6 D and 17-40 mm lens

I am glad this hike was closed when we were there because it scared the heck out of me. But it is amazingly beautiful. Congratulations on your sale!
