Angel's Landing is a challenging and iconic hike located in Zion National Park, Utah. The trail, which is 5.4 miles roundtrip, is known for its breathtaking views and steep drop-offs. The hike starts at the Grotto trailhead and follows the West Rim Trail to Scout Lookout, where the final ascent to the summit of Angel's Landing begins.
The trail is strenuous, with a 1,500-foot elevation gain, but the views along the way are worth it. Hikers will pass through a narrow canyon called Refrigerator Canyon, where the cool air provides a refreshing break from the heat. As the trail continues, hikers will reach Walter's Wiggles, a series of 21 steep switchbacks that lead to Scout Lookout.
From Scout Lookout, hikers will begin the final ascent to the summit of Angel's Landing, which involves holding onto chains that are bolted into the rock face. The trail is narrow and exposed, with sheer drop-offs on either side, so hikers should exercise caution and avoid the hike if they have a fear of heights.
Once at the summit, hikers are rewarded with panoramic views of Zion National Park and the surrounding landscape. The hike is considered one of the most thrilling and memorable in the park, but it's not for the faint of heart. Those who are up for the challenge will be rewarded with an unforgettable experience.

I recently visited Zion, Bryce and Grand Canyon with my brothers. I have wanted to get to Zion for years but I never got around to it. I have stage four colorectal cancer so time is short and valuable for me. My bro's put the trip together and away we went. To actually see Zion in person was amazing. Especially to share it with my brothers. Iwill always cherish this trip and forever thank my brothers for making my dream come true .

Thank you for sharing this! Great video. I've hiked Angel's Landing twice - once in the mid 1990s in my late 20s with some guys from church, and then again with my younger son, brother-in-law, and nephews in October, 2018. I was 53 then. In 2018 we all reached Scouts Lookout (?) where the chains begin and I was so tired I told them to go on without me. I was a bit out of shape at the time and I was worried I'd take a wrong step or something. I sat there for about 40 minutes catching my breath and psyching myself up, and then got up and hiked the chains part to the top by myself. It was extremely scary as I have a thing about heights as well. It was also really exhilarating to do it, though, and I felt the confidence growing in me the farther I went. As I reached the last ledge at the top and peeked my head up above the rock, my family was right there getting ready to descend and I caught my nephew's eyes and he yelled, "Hey, look! It's Uncle Pat!" They all turned and saw me, and the smile that came across my son Colin's face will be with me for the rest of my life. We took some great pics of our group up there and they let me rest for about 30 minutes before we began the hike back down. I'm glad I did it and have the photos with my son to prove it. It's one of my all time favorite memories. Thanks gain, and God bless you. 🙂😎

OMG YOU DID IT! 😳🤯😃 I am so proud of you! That was quite a feat for someone with a fear of heights! …. I suffer the same fear but I call it the fear of falling! 😬 Let’s face it, the look of pure unbridled happiness joy and accomplishment you felt at the very top of the summit was not a man afraid of heights! Once you’ve gotten past the getting -there part, you celebrated and there was no fear! You took in the majestic beauty and showed us how amazing this was with a simple raise of your hand showing us what it’s like (kind of) from your pov! Thank you for seriously making THE BEST video of hiking Angels Landing that I’ve ever seen! The camera angles, the cool vibe of your virtual aloneness, and the music was spot on! When your open -mouthed happiness happened, providing us with a stellar lip- syncing moment literally made me cry! 😭 Like literally! The last 60 seconds before submitting the music was very Game of Thrones-ish that had me out of my chair with my hand over my mouth! I feel I think, how your Mom must feel. Terrified, excited, mind-blown and oh so PROUD! ❤ I enjoyed every single moment of this entire video! Well done! You are very brave! I wouldn’t even attempt the thought of doing that hike! Nice living vicariously through you for a while. You really pushed past your blockages completely! Huge effort. Congratulations! 🎊 😌😊👏🤟🏅🥳👏 Btw your divorce 45:08 is in the past. Leave it there (from one divorcee to another! Thank the Universe everyday for rescuing you from someone unworthy of your love and respect. Like someone famous once said ….. 😉 The only thing worse than being with the wrong person for a year, is being with them for a year and a day. You’re gonna be more than fine! In the meantime I’ve subscribed so I might as well binge a bunch of your videos while I’m at it! Peace and continued growth and positivity. ✌️ Signed ‘Not this dude’s Mom ‘ 😅😊😜

This is the best Angels landing video I have watched. It really brings out how dangerous the hike is without someone trying to act like a macho guy or hero because they did it. My brother and I hiked to Scouts landing in 2019 and that was enough for us. Beyond that it isn't really a trail or a hike, it is rock climbing and too many that do it have little or no experience at that.

Amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I also am scared of heights and I did the hike for my birthday a couple of years ago in December. There was thin ice on the shaded part of the rocks. Many people stopped at the scout point (i believe it's called) and everyone kept saying it was too sketchy. Until one guy cmae down looking like a swan of how elegantly and seamless he made it looked. He said it was breathtaking and all we needed was that one yes from a sea of NOs! It was truly beyond exhilarating. Watching your video reminded me of that feeling and how dangerous it truly was. My heart raced but the memory of such a great accomplishment also rushed in. Thanks again!!

⁠​⁠@@IdRatherBeHikingI echo chef boy with a sentiment of being proud to know you virtually. I’m camped on B.L.M. land at Gooseberry Mesa. Yesterday was first day ever in Zion. I hiked up to Scout Lookout and then did 1 hour on the west rim trail. Today I may apply for a lottery ticket. 6 hours of hiking was exhausting. May do Emerald pools today. Angel’s Landing seems terrifying to me. At 45 minutes you say this path is narrow with high exposure and no chain. Then a little later you say you are at the narrow place and there were chains on both sides. It looks dangerous. Am I missing something here? Camera angle, scary sound track, your fear of falling, or is it really a fear of fallin, or both?

One of the clearest step by step videos. I first hiked this in the early 90’s, but regular film and camcorders didn’t do it justice.

Best video of this Hike I’ve watched. Especially as someone also terribly scared of heights. I freak out even seeing people near edges and cliffs etc. This video though really gave me good insight to HOW narrow and difficult it would def be for me. I wish I was brave like you! Congratulations on conquering your fear and taking life by the horns!🎉 Thank you for sharing this 😊

Nice job! Way to face your fears head on! I live about an hour away from ZNP. In my 20s/30s (I’m a bit older now) I probably hiked that trail at least 2 dozen times and never got tired of it. Such great memories! I still remember feeling scared of that narrow spot you mentioned 😅 the first time or two. Hiking it with a myriad of first timers, I can tell you with confidence that’s the spot most people freeze up at! So, you’re definitely not alone. I keep finding these videos to watch lately. It’s been about 20 years since I’ve hiked up there. I think it’s telling me I need to try and get a permit and go do it! 😂 Thanks for the video!

OMG I cried for you! I'm 69 and my husband is 82. In 2006 we were in Zion after coming off ten days house boating on Lake Powell. I had a lucid dream that was a religious experience. I was definitely in my girlfriend's house! Walking in Zion was magical and serene. But when we got to the Angel Falls stop, we didn't even get off the bus! But now I've walked it with you. Your first wife was a stepping stone!
