Angels Landing PicturesAngels Landing is a popular and spectacular dayhike which is located in Zion National Park, Utah. This is not a hike for everyone especially for those who are fearful of heights. A good portion of the trail is paved and is very busy during peak times. The last portion of the trail follows a narrow ridge with steep-drop offs. There are anchored support chains to assist hikers to the summit.From the summit, there are magnificient views up and down the valley with the Virgin River winding its way into the distance. Landmarks such as the Great White Throne and Big Bend can be seen from this viewpoint. Angels Landing stands at elevation 5990 feet and is a 5 mile roundtrip hike. Here are a few pictures from my hike.  Photo Description: Black and white picture of Angels Landing from the Grotto trailhead and valley floor.

This is the section that has the chains for safety and guidance. In certain areas, the ridge is only a few meters wide with very steep drop-offs of close to 1200 feet on one side and 800 feet on the other.
