Just did the hike to Angle's Landing on July 3, 2009. Caught the early 5:45am park shuttle to get an early uncrowded start. If you are in shape this is not an extremely hard hike if you do it early in the morning before the heat builds up. I am a 57 year old runner and backpacker and made it... more

I had read all the reviews of Angel's Landing and they seem pretty accurate for the most part. I am somewhat amazed that they actually let people go on this hike. Make no mistake about it, one slip on the last portion of the hike and you are a goner. The first 3/4 of the hike is a grueling one....up... more

The literature said, don't take the exposed hike all the way to Angel's Landing if you are afraid of heights ... I didn't think I was. 20 minutes in, when you realize the national park system will definitely let you fall to your own demise you get a little weak in the knees. But ... once you make it up... more

The moment I found out about this hike, I knew it was something I had to do. Of course I didn't get started until 1:00 in the afternoon and it was 95 degrees out. Climbing up was a bear in the heat. I don't have a problem with heights, so I didn't have a problem looking straight down from the... more

Angel's Landing is a fun and medium grade hike until the very last 1/4 mile where it gets just daring enough to make it exciting. We stayed in North St. George and the drive to the trailhead was about 30 min. We had all ages of people on the hike but those under 14 need to be reigned in during... more

Hiked Angel's Landing for the first time on the second week of Oct. This is probally the best hike i've ever been on it's truly a masterpiece. The last .5 miles to Angels landing seems a bit scary when watching people come down and I considered not doing it for a minute or so. Just take your time watch your... more

My family and I hiked Angel's Landing on May 25, during Memorial Day Weekend, and it was great. Nice weather, no crowds, and great views! The trail is very nice, and well maintained (they were doing some work on it while I was hiking). I was a little nervous after reading some of the reviews on here, but it was... more

I had both knees replaced two years ago and was looking for a good test for them. At Angels Landing I found that test. I should have gone in the morning when it was cool. but waited until it was 106 degrees. Made it up to the top and back down in four hours. I have never had to force... more

Took this hike with our two teenagers last week! It was son's favorite hike. We did start the last .5 mile ascent to Angels Landing and decided that scaling the rocks and the mountain wasn't for us and turned around. Despite not gettng all the way to the top, the view from Scouts Lookout was amazing and we felt no... more

Our guide from Mountain Travel Sobek didn’t say much about Angel’s Landing --just that it was challenging. “You’ll know whether you can do it when you see it,”
 he added. He did suggest that we skip the last half mile if we were at all afraid of heights. Someone mentioned that a few people had died trying to make it... more
