Zion National Park    June 13, 2007       kozak/zumberge                  101 degrees

     Angels Landing Trail is a 5 mile hike that takes you onto a high peninsula above and near the center of magnificent Zion Canyon, one of the true gems of the National Park system.   The peak is 1488 feet above the Virgin River, accessed by a "strenuous" route with long drop-offs.   Chains polished by the grasp of many warm hands are available on points of exposure.   Allow 4 hours.  Bring lots of water.

Great shots of an amazing place. You nicely give a sense of the scale of the peaks and valleys. I had to chuckle looking at the steep and tight switch backs up a cliff. It reminded me of the mountain stages in the European cycling races but much tighter and steeper.

You've got some very nice photos here. I can remember it being a "hikers beware" area, but this makes it look even more dangerous that I recall.

Wow! Linie, you missed your calling. You should be working for National Geographic. I don't have to ask if you guys are staying in shape. Keep it up.

Having just visited hiked Angel's Landing two days after you did I can appreciate the text and pictures. Your pictures are a lot better than mine. Great job.
