- In this video we take you along on one of America's most popular and dangerous hikes. Come along and see the breathtaking beauty of Angels Landing and Zion National Park.
Great photography that really showed the trail, views and drops. A few spots look terrifying.
Thank you for the kindness. It did have some sketchy parts that require focus. What an amazing adventure it was. Happy trails to you!
This was so scary 😨. I kept telling Phil, we know they make it through or we wouldn't be watching it. He is very scared of heights and he had to keep closing his eyes. Cudos to you both for doing it twice so we could see these amazing views.
We had this hike on our radar for years. We were so happy to finally check it off our bucket list. Thanks for your interest in our journey!
Thank you for sharing this video! My mind says I can do it, but my heart was literally racing as I watched… especially on the narrow parts of the trail. Bucket list indeed!
If your mind says you can do it, you can. While thrilling for sure, it wasn’t quite as scary as we thought it would be. Just take your time and you’ll be fine. Best wishes and thanks for the comment 😊.
Wow, incredible 👏 I could never do that hike as my fear of heights is ten-fold. My heart was pounding more when you guys were headed down. I was almost hyperventilating 😂. Great video!
Too funny. It was a thrilling adventure for sure. So glad we were able to check it off our bucket list. We appreciate you watching and also the kind comment!
Mad respect to you both for doing this hike and managed to show us how it’s down on video. Thank you ! I already know that won’t be doing this one 😂 😅.
Thank you for watching the video and the kind remark. Angels Landing is not for everyone and there's no shame in that. Happy Trails!
Oh my goodness - What an exceptional video!!
Thank you for the warm remark. We’re so happy to share the adventure with you 😊
Merci ! Très belle video qui nous a rappelé d'excellents souvenirs sur Angel's Landing en 2004. Rien n'a changé : c'est toujours aussi magnifique👍👍
Hello! Thank you for the kind comment. So glad we helped you relive your Angels Landing hike from 2004. Warmest wishes and thank you for watching!
Wow, that was awesome, my fear of height's keeps that off my bucket list. Glad you had a great time. Thanks for sharing,
Hello! We’re not fans of heights either so we had to really focus on the moment. What an experience. Thanks for watching!
Great job filming. You captured what it's like to hike Angels Landing.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a nice comment. Best wishes in your adventures 😊.
Congrats. Hiking Angels Landing is an amazing achievement. I am planning to go to Zion, but will be doing the Riverside walk instead. I am too afraid of heights. Luckily they have some easy hikes at Zion too. What an incredible view from Angels Landing. Congrats again y'all.
Hello. Zion is a wonderful place. If you haven’t been there before, you’re going to love it. Thanks for watching and the kind comment 😊.
My wife and I are visiting this weekend, and we hope to go super early to get a parking spot at the visitor center and then just do easy hikes. Renting an e-bike sounds fun, though I don't know if we want to spend the money on them. Also, not sure if we want to spend time in line waiting for the shuttle. But if the shuttle is cheap, that's probably worth it. I don't mind waiting some.
The Zion shuttle should be free whether you park inside or outside the park. Parking is free inside the park at the visitor center but if you park outside the park and catch the shuttle, you’ll have to pay for parking. We hope you enjoy your trip. It’s one of our favorite NP’s!
@@kbanghart The Zion shuttle should be free whether you park inside or outside the park. Parking is free inside the park at the visitor center but if you park outside the park and catch the shuttle, you’ll have to pay for parking. If you get to the visitor center prior to 8 AM your chances of finding parking are good. We hope you enjoy your trip. It’s one of our favorite NP’s!
@@BuckeyeDrifters also, I'm curious if parking is free at the places where you can rent an e-bike? My wife and I are going this weekend so we will find out :)
Watching OTHER people do this climb is just the way I like it ! I've skydived and loved it - but this ? No way.
Haha. Skydiving nope, not today! Enjoy your adventures!
Fabulous video. Stunning scenery, really a unique location, and shared with your usual charm and warmth.
Your words are too kind. Thanks so much for coming along with us on this adventure 😊. Best wishes!
Fantastic! Congrats on achieving that milestone.
It was a bucket list adventure for us. Thanks for coming along on the hike. Best wishes!
My wife and I are new to your channel and like what we see.
We’ve been fortunate to visit some of the same places you’ve been and enjoy your take on them.
I did Angels Landing a few years when I was 63. I’d never attempted anything that adventurous, but it was just what I needed to help me do other hikes.
Looks like you’re in very good shape and don’t mind challenging treks.
Best wishes, and hope you continue making wonderful videos.
Hello, it's nice to hear from you. We've been on quite the journey since we sold our home and moved into an RV 5 years ago. We set out to see every national park in the lower 48 and we're down to 6 remaining. We don't know how long we'll keep this up but we're still enjoying it and the hiking helps keep us reasonable shape. Angels Landing was a bucket list hike for us. It's great to hear you experienced it also. Our Enchantments hike last month was the hardest endeavor we've ever attempted. If you haven't seen our video of it, you may find inspiration from a 60+ couple :) Best wishes to you guys and we hope to hear from you again! Thanks for the kind comment and Happy Trails!
Twice the fun! Congrats on checking this off the list. It’s a must-do for any avid hiker not afraid of height
We’d been looking forward to this since 2018 when we first visited the park and the trail was closed. Thanks for watching!
You guys are amazing! I could never do this hike due to fear of heights but I enjoyed watching your video! I wonder if thoughts like what if I trip on rock or slip or loose my balance were ever crossing your mind… that’s what I was thinking watching you…
Yes, the thought of slipping was on our minds. The hike was tricky for sure but maybe not as sketchy as the video makes it look. You need to focus the entire way through the chain section. Thanks for the kind remark and happy trails!
Me and my wife hiked it last month. It was amazing up there! The view is stunning from up there at the summit. Cheers! 😎👍
It’s an amazing experience! We’re so glad we were able to check it off our bucket list 👍. Glad you were able enjoy the adventure also. Thanks for watching and the kind comment 😊.
Enjoyed your video! Zion National Park is one of our favorites. Southern Utah is the best!
Hi Bob! Thanks for the comment. Utah is probably our favorite state to adventure in. We really enjoyed the Grand Staircase earlier this year.
That's amazing! Congrats to u guys... What abt the guys who put up that chain? 😮
Thank you. We’re so glad we drew a permit to do the hike. We frequently talk about those who built our hiking trails across the country. Few would be more treacherous than Angels Landing. Thanks for watching 😊.
awesome, thanks for sharing
Hello 👋. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Best wishes!
So freakin cool! Good for you for taking this on because those are some steeeeep edges!
Hello! Angels Landing is an incredibly "cool as you say" hike! We've done a lot of hiking and this one definitely stands out. So glad we did it, twice, lol. Happy hiking!
@@BuckeyeDrifters It looks like such a unique hike/climb!
Great job! Did it on May 12th and ready to go again!
Congratulations to you! What an epic hike, huh?! Hope the video brought happy thoughts to you. Best wishes!
So you pulled 2 separate hiking permits? Wow! What a hike!
We did get drawn for next day permits both times we applied. We count ourselves as lucky 🍀 😊.
Thank you so much for such a detailed preview of the trail. It helped me determine whether I can take on the challenge or not. Can I ask what camera you used for filming?
For the chain section we used a GoPro that I had mounted to my chest. The other part of the trail we used an iPhone. I hope you’re able to do the hike someday. It’s an incredible adventure. Happy trails.
respect,... again
Thank you!
Zion National Park is beautiful, been a few times, but this trail is not for me. those heights are no joke, and I definitely have a fear of heights. I could never make it to the top, to much fear of heights for me. Great video.
It’s definitely not for everyone and there should be no shame in that. We’re glad we were able to do it before we got too old. Zion is one of favorite NP’s! We appreciate you watching and taking the time to make your kind remark. Happy Trails!
My husband and I went to Scout Lookout on 9/15/23!
Maybe next time we will do the Angels Landing!?🙏😅👍
Scout Lookout takes some work to get to. The views really open up on Angels Landing. Hope you do it someday! Thanks for the comment!
Amazing! What time of the year were you up there? I have been trying to see the condors but have had bad timing so far
We were there the last part of April. It was a great day! Our best condor experience by far was at Pinnacles National Park in California! We were lucky.
You are brave. ❤❤
Hey, it’s good to hear from you 😊. Yeah, the adventure did take some courage but it wasn’t as bad as it may have looked on video 👍.
When it comes to National Park hikes/climbs, Long's Peak in Rocky Mountain NP is more dangerous. For those who have done both, as I have, I feel most would agree. There is plenty of class 3 scrambling and no chains on Long's Peak, and it's summit is over 14,000 ft. It's also a 15 mile round trip. A hike to the top of Angel's Landing is quite an achievement though, but if you take your time and not bothered much about the exposure, it's not that hard.
Hello! I cannot disagree with you on any of your points. We’ve talked about Longs Peak as a potential hike but it would be quite hard for us. The only 14er we’ve done is Mt Yale, hard for us but manageable. We appreciate your comment. Happy Trails!
The only reason I commented is because Long's peak lies within a National Park. I didn't mean to diminish your efforts to climb Angels Landing. That climb was a little scary in parts. I did Long's when I was 50 years old. It was hard and dangerous. Angel's Landing was a lot easier for me to do plus the chains helped a lot. I was 37 years old then.@@BuckeyeDrifters
No offense taken. We’re in our 60’s so Longs will likely never happen. There’s other 14’ers that would be easier for us. We hope to keep hiking for many more years 😊.
I can’t even believe that’s open to the public….🤦♀️
We’ve said the same. It’s a hike that definitely requires focus. We’re glad it’s a permit hike now so the number of hikers per day is limited.
Hello, do I need a reservation? and where can I do it? thank you
Hello! Yes, you do need a permit to hike AL. You can do so through recreation.gov. Best of luck to you!
@@BuckeyeDrifters thank you so much.
How long did it take? How much scarier is the decent? 😅
Hello Cari! I think it took us about 3.5 hours from when we got off the shuttle bus to the time we returned to it. The decent looks scarier on the video but we didn’t feel it was any worse than the climb. You will do just fine if you take your time 👍. Best wishes!
@@BuckeyeDrifters thank you!
Props from nonsense of w&j
Thank you. We appreciate you watching our videos! Happy Trails!
