Itinerary description
|
Trail to Angels Landing. After a first strong ascent, the trail passes through a narrow canyon, where the GPS signal is not good, and follows a sequence of zigzags known as "Walter's Wiggles" until it reaches a fork. On the left follows the West Rim Trail. To the right the trail goes up by stones, by a narrow ridge, in a point with width of 2 meters, with abysses of 150 to 300 meters in both sides. At some points one must be careful, but there is always a providential chain alongside. The view from the top of the whole main canyon of the park is stunning.

I´ve followed this trail, but didn´t do the final ascend to Angels Landing, only to Scouts Lookout. Yes, it´s a really strenuous hike, especially if you start to climb at 1pm in September with scorching temperatures :)
But it totally worths the effort, the views are really amazing and the trail itself is beautiful.
Unfortunately I was too afraid to climb to the top, but I had a very nice rest at S. Lookout, sorround by nice squirrels.
