Above Angels Reach

Angels Landing at Zion National Park 1,488 ft. above the valley floor, is a spectacular and precarious hike. Travelers in the final section of the hike find chains anchored into the rock to provide some safety at the cliff’s edge.

For this trip we arrived late to the summit with a serious thunderstorm brewing. Smart folks had abandoned this spot, but in the silence, this dead pine, looking up canyon, had some stories to tell.
