Zion National Park, Utah -

To reach Angel's Landing you must first ascend the walls of Zion Canyon. In the picture above note the trail gouged into the wall just below the notch.

The final push to the top of the canyon is reached by ascending an elaborate series of switchbacks with the colorful name of "Walter's Wiggles".

Angel's Landing from the top of the canyon. If you chose not to continue, the views are spectacular from here as well. (The fellow in the foreground quit at the "moment of truth" - see right).

The "Moment of Truth". This is the narrowest point on the sheer-walled neck. Most of those who don't make it to the top freak out and quit at this point.

Nearing the top of Angel's Landing. This part is very steep and strenuous but not nearly as scary as on the neck.
