Transcript of Zion slideshow
The Virgin River sits at the base of Angels Landing. The summit towers 1,488 ft. above the river at its
base.
The summit of Angels Landing is pictured below on the large rock to the right. Rock-climbers enjoy
scaling these sandstone rock faces.
The path up to the top begins at a very low incline, sandy walking path. With the hike taking
an average of 1.5 - 2 hours, this is just the beginning.
It does not take long to get very high above the Virgin River’s level. Take your time and don’t
forget to hydrate on the way!
As the paths’ incline increases, the trails begin to cut into the rock faces so you are literally walking
under rock jut-outs!
Walter’s Wiggles make for the most steep and exhausting part of the trek up the back of the rock
face.
Carvings from the early settlers can be found hidden in the park. Do your research and try to
find them!
