Embarking on a guided hike up Angels Landing in Zion National Park is a thrilling adventure that promises both challenge and breathtaking scenery. As you ascend the 1,488-foot monolith, your experienced guide provides insightful commentary on the park’s unique geology, flora, and fauna. The hike begins with a series of switchbacks known as Walter’s Wiggles, gradually leading to the aptly named Scout Lookout. From here, the real excitement begins with a narrow ridge flanked by sheer drop-offs, where chains bolted into the rock offer crucial support. The journey culminates at the summit, rewarding hikers with panoramic views of Zion Canyon’s towering sandstone cliffs and verdant valley below, making every step of the strenuous trek well worth the effort.
