Angel's Landing Hike


Last weekend, it snowed in all of the state of Utah except in St. George.  St. George was warm and pleasant but a little chill in the air, around the 60 degree range most of the time.  So, it was very nice, better than 10 degrees in Ephraim for sure.


I was going to ride my bike in St. George but my bike wasn't ready at the shop.  They found another problem on it and the frame needed to be replaced because of a crack in it.  So, my parents and I decided to still go down there and go see Zion National Park.  I hiked up Angel's Landing while my parents did the shuttle around the park and saw other stuff.


Angel's Landing was a tough steep climb up to it and I've never done it before.  There was a lot of people there.  But I enjoyed the hike up it.  I was trying to go as fast as I could so I could get back before dark.  The view at the top was amazing.


The top part was very scary because of cliffs on both sides and I had to hold on a chain and I thought that part was pretty cool.
 

There were awesome switchbacks on this climb but the trail was all paved, probably because of the water control.  Later that night, my parents and I watched "Interstellar" at the Imax theatre right outside of Zion.  It was an interesting movie and it made me think for days.  It was a very good time and I won't ever forget this trip.
