I was so nervous about this walk having read the reviews. I have a knee and lower back problem and didn't think I'd manage it but I did right to the very top! Go early, the entire first part is in the shade. We were on the path by 08:30 but it meant it was cool right to the last... More

Incredible views - always felt safe, one of the best hikes anywhere! Not overly crowded, and loved the perspective from the top looking into the valley.

As all the review promised, this hike was amazing but not to be taken lightly. I got so many amazing photos. Most of it is paved, but still proves to be quite strenuous. The last 0.5 miles is Rock-Climbing-Lite with narrow, uneven footing, a chain and a plunge to death if not careful. If you are in decent shape, careful,... More

We visited in May 2012. I had been reading about this hike extensively in preparation for our trip. I am afraid of heights so I wasn't sure if I would make it through the last 1/2 mile after Scout's Lookout. We got up early and took a shuttle to the trailhead from our campground. The beginning of this hike is... More

Angels Landing is appropriately rated 'strenuous' by the park. Be sure to carry some water and some energy snacks...and hiking poles which are particularly helpful coming down! I am a walker not a hiker so it took about 3-4 hours...and hiking with friends helps the time go by! Must admit it was a wonderful physical accomplishment/triumph...and the view was 'on... More

This is about a 2 1/2 mile hike up, 5 miles round trip. The last 1/2 mile is the toughest and most challenging. As mentioned in my previous review, this hike is not meant for those afraid of heights nor beginning hikers. It is best to start this hike early in the morning or later afternoon. During late morning and... More

My friend and I did this hike last week. I was guilty of reading too many reviews prior to my visit to Zion and I came with high expectations. The Angels Landing trail is definitely one that lives up to my expectation. The entire hike was very scenic. On our walk, we spotted a deer, an owl, chipmunks, various types... More

I had gone on the forums prior to our trip here kind of agonizing about whether to attempt this trail. I was very interested in hiking it--trying to prove that a 54 year old slightly out of shape woman could do it. My husband was not so interested--he felt he had nothing to prove as he'd done extensive hiking in... More

A little bit exposed. I could not quite complete the very last section on my very early walk. The route finding is easy and the wiggles at the end are awesome.

Really amazing views and astonishing hike - the narrow path with dropoffs is unique. Getting to the end gives you both amazing views and great sense of accomplishment. Everyone will warn you about the hike as it is dangerous but the truth is that there were 6 fatalities over last 10 years - probably fewer than on the street next... More
