For many people they should stop at Scouts Landing and enjoy the view from there. If you have your permit and wish to climb the spine up to Angel's Landing then be prepared to be frightened and challenged physically. This is a tough climb with zero tolerance for mistakes so if you are at all afraid of heights do not attempt this. I did it in around 3 hours, found it very strenuous but also exhilarating and was not able to relax until I had safely descended back down to Scouts Landing. Coming down I think is the most dangerous part of the hike as you are tired and have to crab walk down many sections. Do not take Angels Landing lightly and definitively don't bring any children on it.

At 5.5 miles roundtrip, the hike doesn't sound like it would be too difficult if you're moderately fit. But the steep incline is pretty intense. And the final mile to the very top requires a good amount of concentration. I don't consider myself to be afraid of heights and standing at the edge of steep cliffs hardly bothers me. But there were some sections of this trail that felt sketchy, especially when there was traffic going both ways along the chained part of the trail. I would advise to take your time and stay focused. The reward at the top is worth it. I would also recommend going in slow season, if possible. I went in November and there weren't that many people on the trail. And the colder weather also helped. I think doing this hike in the Summer heat would be unbearable.

My Husband and I visited Zion, Utah for our Anniversary. We stayed in Hurricane, Utah approximately 30 minutes away. Entered through Springdale and it was great, we did some Easy/Moderate Hiking, but when we entered through the East Entrance the next day, it was Majestic! We went through the Mile Tunnel, with Peek a boo views of the Beautiful Mountains. With all the Fall colors! Such an amazing Drive. I would recommend all would go see this glorious creation!

The views are absolutely amazing. We did not go to the top, we instead, stopped at Scouts Overlook where the chain section of the trail begins. Red is a little scared of heights and walking up the last section holding onto a chain to get there didn't really appeal to her. You will not be disappointed with the view it is absolutely breathtaking.

It was as fantastic as can be. Stunning views. Be sure to enter the lottery. I was subject to the day-before system and got lucky on the first try. My hike was in the morning, so it was a bit cooler, but the body heat jumped quickly. There are some very steep switchbacks that get the heart racing. My biggest tip would be to GO EARLY in the morning. Get the before 9am timeslot if you can. I'm thankful I did. When I was going up, I had to contend with very few people already coming down from being at the top. When I was on my way down, there were a lot of others doing the same, AND there were just as many people, if not more, trying to hike up. This caused traffic jams. Trust me...you'll enjoy it much more with fewer people.

Hiked Angel's Landing – talk about a wild ride! The trail had my heart racing, but the summit views? Worth every step. Felt like I was on cloud nine up there. Don't miss this adrenaline-packed adventure!

A permit is required to do the final hike up to Angel's Landing but it is well worth it. The views are stunning and the hike itself I would suggest is not that hard unless you have a fear of hikes and then it might be very challenging. There were clearly people hiking it that should not have been. We were prepared for what has been called "one of the most dangerous hikes". I honestly do not think it was that dangerous although there were sections that felt both harder than expected and easier than expected. April was a great time to go. It was still crowded even though we went before peak time. We were all thankful it was not more crowded than what we experienced. We were met by a ranger who checked for a valid permit before we could ascend to the top.

after we completed this amazing trail, got a message from a friend that this is one of the deadliest trail in the US. If we knew that info prior to hiking, we will not attempt to hike it. It’s extremely challenging especially the last 1/2 mile( permit required section) but doable. the first 2 miles had a severe climb but the trail is stable and paved . when you get to the top, the view is breathtaking. we came here on a Saturday so the wait for the shuttle to get to angel’s landing (stop 6) was about 45 mins. we started our hike at 1115 (our permit is after 9am) with temperature of late 80’s and went all the way to 98C. we had to stop a few times to take a break due to heat. my wife and I are in our 50’s somewhat active with really bad knee but not pro hikers and we’re able to complete it in 5 hours. the permit required section is an extreme climb but there’s chain that can assist you. water and light snack is a must and hiking pole is a good tool to help you on the first 2 miles and the last 2 miles to save your knee. the advantage of getting a permit after 9am is it has less foot traffic on the last half mile( one way traffic). angels landing trail is worth your time and effort. view from the top is breathtaking.

I was surprised how quickly we got to Scouts Landing. The switchbacks and Walter's wiggles were not too strenuous. I LOVED fro Scouts Landing to Angel's Landing. The sheer drop offs, the use of the chain ropes, the heavenly view. I loved the whole experience!

This was a really beautiful hike. You do need to be relatively fit and be okay with heights. The views of the park are insanely gorgeous. Make sure you have your permit handy as they will ask for it at the half way point. Certainly a challenging summit in the heat and incline.
