Top of the World baby. This is quite the hike and view a top Zion National Park's more rigorous hike of Angel's Landing. This shot was taken about 3/4 of the way up the hike, right before you start up hand or hand along a chain link...that is all that seperates you from the trail and about 600 feet to the bottom of the canyon. The adrenaline and view are great. This is a 'must do' if your in Zion's.

Once you get to where you see the blue sky in this picture, you'll be halfway. Overall, the Angel's Landing Hike is the second best hike in the canyon (#1 is the Narrows) but probably the most taxing. Its about 1 1/2 hours to the top and probably 45 minutes down, about 5 miles round trip.

If you get bored...just scale the trail...its fun, less filling, and won't cost you a dime...unless the park rangers catch you.

Its always important to bring a buddy or two or three along with you. You never know when you might fall a few hundred feet and you need someone to right a eulogy.

Zion's Canyon...Its a Beaut!

There is nothing like the top...baby. The view is amazing as you can look up and down almost the full length of the canyon.
