This hike is not for anyone with a fear of heights. The clincher for most hikers is the last half-mile to the top that I show on the video, where you must climb along a narrow ridge that has dizzing drop-offs on both sides of about 1500 feet. Six people have fallen to their deaths in the past several years but my guess is your greater risk was the drive to the Zion National Park so be safe and I hope you enjoy the video. Have a great day! Mike

  • How much time does it need to get up and down?

  • @CherubicLynx If memory serves me correct, I believe it took me just under 4 hours round trip not including a scenic rest break at the top.

  • Great video! We were there in April, 2010 and I went up it several times, culminating with a 43 minute round trip from the bus stop (25 minutes up and 18 minutes down). One of the all time best short trails.

  • By the way, when the videographer says the camera is pointing north, it is actually pointing due south. Maybe he was looking north at the time.

  • My wife and I did this hike last September, and it is by far one of the top two hikes I've ever been on. Videos and photos just don't do it justice. The almost euphoric feeling you get by climbing this lofty fin of sandstone is well worth the massive crowds (this video must have been taken in the off-season - there literally was a train of people going up and down the trail when I was there, along with perhaps 50 or so people on the top at any given time) and steep trail. 

  • Been to the top of Walters Wiggles several times. Never going to do Angels Landing. I almost threw up watching this. This video was more than convincing to me that there is NO way I would make it down, I'd make it up I think, not down. I am totally fine with being a pansy about it. Everyone is afraid of something!

  • I think I have vertigo now. Thanks for the vid thouh.

  • Doesnt look to bad really...But what do i know, i did the freaking big shot ride ont he stratosphere tower in las vegas....

  • Its really not too bad, you especially realize this on the way back down. Just did it! Its a blast.
