Everything Yelp reviewers have said about Angel's Landing is true. This hike was amazingly difficult, but man, look at the view; it's all worth it.
My friends and I set out on this adventure at 11:30am. It took us about 3 hours to get to the top and 1 more to get down. The first stretch was a breeze. You have a 10-minute stroll through the park where you get to gaze at the green trees, admire Zion's beautiful rocks, and enjoy the sound of the running river. Then you have the 1st stretch of incline, then 2nd, and then...honestly there were too many to keep track of. The last stretch is the greatest though. You get to climb up a mountain with nothing but chains and an air of opened space on both sides of your sweaty palms. One error and you might fall to your death. I truly enjoy these hikes because when I'm standing at the top, looking down at the view, I just feel a sweet sense of bliss. It's fucking amazing. Though, the highlight of the hike would have to be the 2 hours we spent napping on top of the Angle's Landing rock.
