1-Aug-06 Angels Landing


Sunday July 30

got up early this morning
and heading up for a last hike in Zion

To climb 1500 feet up to the top of
Angels Landing
The peak on the right in the picture
One of the most strenuous paths in the park
Pretty much the exact opposite of the canyon hike
long steep trails up the side of a mountain
with a view of the larger Zion canyon

most of the trail was in shade
and starting at 7:30am was a good idea
parts of the trail were less than three feet across
with a straight drop of around 1000 feet

The weather was wonderful
light clouds and cool morning air
