The guide below goes into great depth on everything you need to know logistically (& mentally) about hiking Angels Landing in Zion National Park, plus some Angels Landing photos and turn-by-turn directions of the trail and what to expect along the way. It’s a classic for a reason, despite its crowds, it’s a must-do for any adventurous hiking soul.
I’ll answer all your questions about this trail, and hopefully by the end of my Angels Landing trail guide you will feel well-prepared and equipped to take on this beautifully epic challenge in Zion National Park.
I’m hoping to help you kick that fear-talker to the curb though. The first time I went, I had no idea what to expect, and then you hear about how people have died on the trail, and the fear-talker kicks in trying to talk you out of the hike before you’ve even made it to Zion. It’s hard not to, with all the wide angle photos out there that make the already narrow trail look even more narrow. Even as an avid hiker and rock climber, I still got butterflies the first time I went to go hike this trail. You might be reading this post because you are scared or nervous at attempting the Angel’s Landing Trail for the firs time, and I totally get that. The views are absolutely unmatched and the trail will challenge you both physically and mentally the whole way up. The Angels Landing hike in Zion National Park is one of the MOST ICONIC hikes in Zion, and the entire United States in my opinion.
