Angels Landing

As I mentioned in my earlier post, the Angels Landing hike made the trip to Zion.  It starts with a very steep climb of 2 miles on a very windy paved path.  This gets you to a place called Scouts lookout.  The picture of Nat is from there and the views are great.  From there you can climb an additional half mile to Angel's Landing.  You are warned that you will be following a narrow path with chains to hold on to, but I figured that this was a small section of the hike, not the whole thing.  Mary, Abby and I went to the top.  The whole hike was pretty nerve wracking as there were steep drop offs pretty much the whole time.  The pictures really don't capture it.  There is a death on this trail every other year or so the risks are real.  Mary and Abby were awesome.  With all these pictures, remember that we started our hike on the valley floor.
