June 22nd Angel’s Landing
We did the Angel’s Landing hike today. Let me give you a little reference: Angel’s landing is one of the most highly technical hikes that one can do without climbing equipment. It is a steep straight up and straight down hike with some serious switchbacks. And, people die almost every year on this thing. You can walk up it and get to a point where you are safe not to go further, but once you reach the “point of no return” , you are holding on to a cliffside by chains! It is worth it to go see but it is freighting at times. I am surprised that they let people even do this hike. The only warning they have is for people who are afraid of heights and to hold on to the chains! But, we did it. The views are breathtaking and very humbling. That was the last hike in Zion, next stop: Las Vegas!
