HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 май 2017
- One of the Scariest and Spectacular hikes in North America. Here's a look at how Angels landing looks like with steep drop offs of 1,000 feet on both sides. Video shows me going up and down Angels Landing. It's one of the most popular hiking trails in Zion National Park, Utah. It's also listed as one of the top 10 hikes in North America.
Definitely make this one of the hikes on your bucket list.
Video recorded on April 24, 2017 using a GoPro and a FeiYu steadycam GoPro gimbal.

I did this yesterday January 10, 2021! I am 67-year-old woman Who is terrified of heights and decided I wanted to do something adventurous before I die. It was terrifying and I almost quit but I pushed on through and I am so glad I did. It was spectacular and it was sort of a metaphor for life. “Feel the fear and do it anyway“
respect
I am so proud of you for pushing yourself both physically and mentally and not letting your fears win! We are all capable of so much more than we think we are. I am turning 55 tomorrow and my husband and I are going to Zion in 1 month and this is definitely something that I want to do. He wants no part of it, but I am going regardless, because I don't want to live the rest of my life in fear and not experiencing challenges in this life. If people are just smart and not stupid, this is a hike that is doable. Thanks for sharing your story and for inspiring me that this is one more thing I can do!!!!
@@lisafranco8129 good for you Lisa! It is challenging and scary but when you have done it you will feel A sense of great accomplishment and you will be glad you did it.
@@hikergal7972 Thanks for the encouragement! I'll let you know how it goes:)
“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone”
Hats off to the crew who installed that guard rail.
They were roped off I'm sure.
Nah props to the Indians that first hiked this trail. That’s how the trail originated
It was most likely put in during the Great Depression as part of the work initiatives
Whoever put that equipment regardless guys.. they did us a huge justice and are fearless bastards
Reminds me of Hillary's step on Everest albeit a bit higher
Not proud to say this but when I worked at Zion I hiked it in 2000 wasted with snow and ice. Definitly used up one of my 9 lives.
10 years sober now. Glad to be here.
Would love to do it with on the ground
Scott congrates on being sober, 35 years off of oxy, know what you feel, god bless
They had the chains up back then?
@@dgreatll No chains back then. Dude has 9 lives haha
Snow and ice gets me high too.
Thank you for the person who recorded this video so I won't EVER have the need or desire to do so.
Lol 😂
... you should totally do it anyway. Really.
Pictures/videos never do anything justice. This video is NOTHING like being up there… I highly recommend doing this hike! Not nearly as scary or dangerous as people make it seem. The chains make you feel very comfortable and the rock is very grippy. It was an amazing experience!
Thanks for the great video. I fell off six times watching it
hahahaha
😂
Mr Me don't worry, if you actually do the hike, you only fall off like two or three times.
😂😂😂
I'm glad you were able to land on your feet lol.
Scariest hike in America is through Detroit with a Rolex
Or gold teeth..!! LOL!
Ouch lol. That does sound intense.
With ANY watch
As a Detroiter, I have to agree! 😂 😆
I don't know, man, I would still prefer to be shot or stabbed than to lose my footing at the summit of this trail and fall all the way down
My brother tried this hike and never returned home.
We sent out a search party and found him at Starbucks.
Miklos lol
That made my day :D
you got me there for a second
made my day
Greatest comment ever! Lol
Scariest hike in America is up the basement stairs after you turn the light off.
even scarier when the door at the top slams shut and you hear a board creak at the top of the stairs.
girlie girls...
especially if you are still living with Mommy and Daddy after age 23
The Corps of Discovery lmao!! Yup!!
100% 😂
I hiked Angel’s Landing when I was 20 years old. Pretty sure I’m not brave enough to do it now. But I’m proud of it - definitely my scariest hike ever ⭐️
Hey guys! Just saying that although this trail irl is nerve wracking, wide-angle cameras make the trail look WAY steeper/narrow then it actually is. In reality, as long as you keep your cool and don’t freak out, it’s absolutely do-able. Sometimes kids even do it.
You just need to make sure one thing, and it is: don’t fall
You lose me at “don’t freak out”. I already did.
I did Angels Landing a couple weeks ago, and agree with this. Provided that hikers stay mindful of their surroundings and where their feet are planted, the trail isn't too risky. Biggest risk IMO isn't falling off a cliff, but suffering a leg injury by stepping on the wrong spot during one of the steeper sections.
Agreed. Watching this video made my stomach queasier than hiking the actual hike. If I had watched this video first, I would not have hiked it.
For a naturally fear-averse person like myself - naw, the wide-angle lens was exactly how it felt. Probably not actually how it is, but it's how it felt.
Hiked this in December, it was THE MOST crowded trail I have ever been on, there’s literally lines of people holding on to the chains going up it’s really risky especially being so close to people and making room for people going up and going down. I’d suggest going SUPERRR early to avoid the crowds
R Kay That’s what I hate...so many people on the trails nowadays. RMNP is my home park and it gets downright ridiculous at times.
Well I can't say I went super early, but I think 1990 was early enough ; ). The road inside the park was open back then (no buses). I recall driving my motorcycle all the way to the parking area for The Narrows trailhead.
There was so many cool trails and rock formations to see and the colors changed many times from pre-dawn to sunrise, morning, midday, late afternoon, dusk, sunrise, and twilight.
But for me, Angel's Landing and the Narrows were my two favorites. I went back several times in the 90' and saw the rise of the crowds.
Will I go for one more visit someday? idk. There's new places on my list I'd like to see first before tourist crowds degrade the natural wonder. I have some of the Pacific Crest Trails to explore still and I'd like to hike the Te Araroa in New Zealand. We'll see, but it's still about the journey, not the destination.
Lived here my whole life , I don’t even hike that trail anymore because it’s always packed .
@@KN-ko8ez I am sorry you are unable to understand everybody has the right to go there if they want to. It is not your property.
Pro9 I didn’t ever say it was my property. There are just way too many people there at all times nowadays.
I’ve had the great fortune of hiking this twice in my life: once before kids, and then 20 years later with my kids. It’s tough, scary, but totally worth it! The view from the top is beautiful and humbling. The whole park is one of my favorites!
Good thing you filmed this so beautifully... because I am NEVER going to hike that !!
AMagicProduction I did...! I stopped halfway there and head back.
Was thinking the same I feel like such a wimp
I did it when I was twelve with my dad, actually not that bad though it got intense towards the end
I couldn't agree more. I have severe acrophobia, so this is as close as I'll get to this trail.
LOL, exactly!! I appreciate getting to experience so many things in this world through RUclips because in reality there are certain things that I would never be able to do.
I hiked that trail yesterday for the first time in my life. Still cannot believe I did it. The feeling is unbelievable. I was scared of course, but it was worth the efforts. I felt as if forces of Nature were supporting me during this short, but frightening journey - the spectacular views kind of empowered me all the way up and down. And I had a moment of bliss on the very top. Looks like a place, where ... Heaven and Earth meet. Thanks for that gorgeous video!
I hate the trend of using advertising music in outdoor videos.
Wouldve preferred the sounds of the wind and ambience noise
This music is generic electrogarbage. Video is nice though.
Agree
You wouldn't hear just nature without it. Zion is so freaking crowded and it's a shame really. The fact that there are so many obnoxious people takes away from the experience of being there its lame. Last time I went was early 2000s and I wouldn't go back.
King Charles good point but it wouldn’t be hard to find an artist that makes less obnoxious electronic music (like something more ambient) that would give their permission to use their music in the video.
If you guys like this hike, you will for sure want to do the climb up Half Dome in Yosemite. Just as scary as Angels Landing : ruclips.net/video/AsM2GuLyTL8/видео.html
I'd lock up halfway in you'd have to send a rescue chopper 😂
Yes there’s no way I could do that! I’d at least need chains on both sides!
Yeah many choose not to do that part. I was a little scared going up and holding on to the chains as much as possible. But on the way back down, I rarely even touched the chain. It was night and day.
I really don't think I could do it
Exactly what I was thinking.
I know the feeling. Only time in my life I've had a panic attack. Thankfully my friends son was there and helped me calm down and complete the hike.
That’s where I proposed to my wife, on top of angles landing. Awesome place
Climber Dad Now that's awesome!
If I'm ever lucky enough to find/meet/date someone to propose to, I'm most likely going to do so in the national parks. I've done Half Dome, Angel's Landing, Grand Canyon, Delicate Arch, Mammoth Cave, Lehman Cave, etc. Beautiful places! Congratulations!!
My fiance proposed to me in Kolob Canyon and the next day we hiked Angels Landing. Exhilarating and magical!
Smart. Because you know she not gonna say NO at that height.
way to go! you did is classy!
This looks like one of those hikes where going back down is the hard part.
This hike is NOT as scary as many people make it. It DOES have several dangerous dropoffs that are fatal if you fall, but you have to actually make an effort to get close to the edge to be in any REAL danger. Stay on the MAIN path, hold onto the chains when they are present, and wear athletic/hiking footwear with good grip on them and you'll be perfectly FINE. just think of the THOUSANDS of people who hike Angel's Landing each day without incident. Pay attention, be smart and things will be ok.
You are absolutely right, I did the hike last week. It was AWESOME!
Exactly just don’t be dumb😂
I seen a video of some young guys doing it when there was snow now that looked crazy.
@@ethansellers8413 .Righttt, be mindful, everything takes care of itself if we are. And rush people.. if it’s crowded wait. Enlist the vibe, that’s part of it, despite being annoying. Can’t try to control others. That’s why this hike is climbed really. People having fun
I remember most of the chain parts being okay but there is one part at the top past the chains where you're just scrambling up the side of the rock. Coming back down you're headed directly toward the drop and if you misstep there it feels like you can build up enough momentum to slide off the edge. When I went I wasn't prepared for hiking so I had these really cheap walking shoes and I was literally down on my butt moving an inch at a time until I got down to the ledge where the path started. That was over 10 years ago and to this day I'm amazed I made it up there and back in one piece.
OK you know that guy that was at the top laying flat on his stomach with his fingers deeply enbedded in the rock and sobbing uncontrollably out of blood curdling fear? That was me.
I was not far behind you.
What minute is that
I was still at the bottom doing the same thing.
First time I went I cried and turned back quick at the scary part, second time I went I sobbed in sheer terror as I was yelled to the top by a jerk. This hike is no joke
@@GoddessAmberr I also need three tries to come to the top.
I was about 12 when i did this hike, im watching it now at 15 and I remember every last bit of it, i see all the comments saying “i would never do this” and its incredible knowing that I accomplished this at such a young age, it is truly life-changing!
aTm ツ - that’s really awesome that you did it! Good for you! :)
Thanks for this video. Just did Angel's Landing last week and I only remember part of it, probably due to never looking up from my feet and adrenaline.
That would be me
Exactly! I never dared to look up from my feet during the whole chains section. I have never focused so much ever in my life lol. Did it today on Christmas!
2:17 wait what! That kid looks around 3! Props to him for completing the climb but that seems like some reckless parenting to me.
I was going to say the same thing.
John Y that was a kid?
Dude it’s really easy, just looks scary.
Suki Mongoljav the funny thing is that there is no kid there. Everyone in this time stamp is an adult. I’m still trying to figure out who this kid is he’s talking about.
@@justiceLaw0123 the two children on the right on the screen? older one wearing grey the younger in blue..
2:19
It is indeed an amazing work of engineering that people added those chains to make the hike somewhat safer.
So this is the mountain I fall off of in my dreams from time to time 🤔
Glad just your dreams..a normal person probably like you lost life to a misstep. Not dream gone
Haha I just had a dream where I was driving my car in some faraway land and got stuck somewhere, then I had to walk on a ledge high up like this. Then I found this girl and she told me that it wasn't stable but I said "yeah duh but do I have a choice?" And then I kept going and fell down the cliff and for about five seconds I was free falling and then woke up.
I am enjoying the comments about this... especially the one about missing your brother and finding him at Starbucks 😄 I did this trail with a 12 year old who had a poor sense of balance due to ear problems... THAT was nerve-wracking, but well worth it, and he thought so, too. (He has gotten over his ear and balance problems and now teaches rock climbing.)
Yes, the wide angle lens DOES exaggerate the narrowness of the trail, but it IS usually narrower than 5 feet, with some sections substantially under 3 feet wide, with over 1000 feet straight down on both sides.
As is hinted at by the views from the top of Angel's Landing, ALL OF ZION NATIONAL PARK should be on your bucket list... even if Angel's Landing isn't!😀 It's my favorite National Park (so far!).
It looks way scarier on this video than in real life. I’m 14 and I found this hike very easy and I’m not a sporty person at all. It was a great experience and I recommend you to do it!!!
Hey I’m about the same age and I’m about to do this hike. I am REALLY scared of heights but love the looks of this hike, should I be worried??
I just did this hike, and i’m a little afraid of heights, and I guarantee you that you will be freaking out if you’re deathly afraid. the good news is, you can still do the hike and make it to a tall overview point before the chains which is basically just the same view but obviously less elevation. it’s beautiful and worth it. i recommend going on the hike and if you are wanting to do the chains then go and do them!! I warn you though, if you don’t go EARLY in the morning, there’s LOADS of people, making it harder to get down, and less chain space to hold onto. I’d get to the park at 6:00-6:45 and there’s parking and shuttles :)
Nah man it’s pretty scary. As a 14 year old I don’t think you can really comprehend the magnitude of standing 2 feet away from a 100% death drop. I did it as well but downplaying it is not what I would be doing.
Still is an incredible hike and I’m proud of you for doing it!
Keep exploring!
As someone with an intense fear of heights I still recommend it to everyone bc it really helped me get over my fear and gave my anxiety disorder a little slap to the face. I am also 14
Lmao same I’m 15 and not at all very sporty and it was pretty easy
I can tell you, this fish eye lens makes it scarier then it is. I'm afraid of heights and yes some bits were a bit scary, but it was the most epic thing I've ever did in my life! :)
I'd crawl on all fours.
You're not afraid of heights if you made this hike. Trust me, anyone who is truly afraid of heights wouldn't even consider it.
For me, it was waaaay scarier than it looked here, tbh. There were times when I just had to crouch down and not move, looking only at the rock under me, until the people coming down had passed and I could keep going up. Man, was this a tough thing for me. I don't struggle with a fear of heights specifically, but just fear in general. This was a huge step for me, and I'm SO glad I did it, buuuut... I doubt I'm ever doing it again. :) Well, maybe.
Agreed. I didn't think it was really that bad in person. Just don't goof off and you're fine.
True. Wide angle lenses (like that of GoPro) make things looks smaller and farther away, make trail bike rides look faster, and yes, make trails look narrower. STILL, not for everyone.
Great job on this video: a real "you are there" feeling and the color is spectacular! More please!
Brian L. Have you hiked it?
Heading there in May and this confirms I will NOT be hiking Angels Landing. Your video gave me a great perspective!
Laurel Jackson same here. Thinking of visiting Zion in May and no way am I hiking this trail. My husband could never do it for sure.
For those claiming the trail isn’t all that bad…years ago, I was in Zion and knew nothing about this hike, just randomly started out on a path along the river for a stroll. At first it seemed normal, but then kept getting higher and the embankment turned into a cliff of switchbacks…no big deal until I noticed I was very high up a narrow path and terrifying sheer drops with no rail.
I stopped sweating snd wobbly kneed at a scary corner and asked two passing hikers about the upper trail. “Oh, it gets scary higher up, cliffs on BOTH sides, and…”
I went back down and later seeing these videos am so glad I left.
If you want a safer hike with a better view do the Observation Point hike. It's 8 miles round trip but 700 feet higher than Angels Landing and the view is breathtaking.
Next time. I only had time to hike one of the two, so I chose Angel's Landing because it is the shorter of the two.
Agreed on Observation Point. It's a longer hike, but you get to look down on the folks hiking up Angel's Landing.
Pansy
angels landing is no more dangerous than any mountain hike in north america...
Yes! I went on that hike, very beautiful, good spot to take photos!
"Scariest hike in America?" Finds a 4 year old kid at the top.
Yeah, obviously it's their first vacation.
Actually you will kids are most adventurous than adults, at that age you don't worry about the consequences. There's many things I would not consider doing now, which I did as a kid.
I wouldn't want my 13 year old daughter to do this because half the time she can't seem to walk and chew gum at the same time. And if someone is coming down and someone is going up the same trail, who gives, who has the right away. As a parent, no, I wouldn't want my child do this hike.
Yeah I saw parents with babies in carrier at the top here but not on Half Dome.
Some children have no fear.
Thank you, I have attempted this hike twice but just could not get passed the third set of chains. My fear of heights combined with the impatient people who were taking huge risks made my say it was not worth watching someone die.
Guys and gals.. I knocked out this hike yesterday.. 08/17/20 ..
Yes its open and yes YOU CAN DO IT !! If I can anyone can .. not scary as the video makes it seem... go super early to avoid crowds.. wear good sturdy hiking shoes.... have a full battery for pics.. no big backpack.. and a victory beer or joint .. or both lol... everyone is very patient if u are slow .. go slow ..take your time . And have strong wrists.... enjoy the view and the hike ... worth it. . Promise me!! - your fellow hiker !
This is so beautiful. Absolutely stunning. Something I'd never be able to do, thank you for showing it to us. ❤❤❤
Made this hike last spring. I am terrified of heights so I was basically shaking the whole time! The terrain is relatively easy and I'd say 75% of the hike isn't scary but there and are plenty of areas where one slip in the wrong spot mean you are done for! No fences or rains only a loose chain to hold on to.
Major respect to anyone with the composure to do this hike. I'm certain I'd have a heart attack. Frankly, just watching the video was more than enough for me!
Hiked this when I was 14, thought my scout leaders were nutts taking us on this!
At least they werent molesting you! Lol jp
@@eyawakening honestly they couldve been, who knows lmao
Went there few weeks ago. Hiked up to the middle. Stopped at where the poles and chains are. Hopping to go back there again with proper footwear! So do your research before going!
Location is beautiful! The landscape is very refreshing. Also there's a bathroom in the middle for those that need it but the smell is something from another world 😂😂
West family wage ward
Best watched on mute. Great photography, but the soundtrack is overbearing.
I’m always amazed by nature. It’s fascinating how mountain erosion has formed chain linked railings like that.
Have good shoes with good treads. Leave the backpacks back at the start of the chains. If you have problems with heights or lack confidence in your balance - DO NOT go on this hike. There are many ways to prove your worth beyond climbing up a trail.
I did this hike when I was 14 and still remember how amazing it was! Worth it!
I did this hike at 52 years old and it was worth it!
Im 14 and I'm planning on hiking it this year!
I feel my sphincter tightening up just watching.
what a butt hole
I just hiked Angel's Landing a week ago and have to say the videos with mega wide angle lenses make it look crazy. This hike is not bad at all. It's amazing, great view, but nothing to be scared of.
Bobby Beck ..so you liked it, without the bad music! Thks for telling us about your experience there! Been there a few times, & like the canyons & it's majesty, along the Virgin River! Thanks!
I was here in 1976, when there were very few people, and several times since. You can never describe this so thanks for the great film.. Best hike in America!
I was there in '76 too- but chickened out. Saw little kids doing doing it.
When I look down from the cliff, my heart jumps till I see I'm still in my room. I'm never going there!
Alyssa - do it anyway. Trust me.
definitely worth the trip! Zion National Park is a national treasure. The shuttle services in the park are world class and the locals are friendly. It took me about 3.5 hours to hike all the way to the top of Angels Landing (I'm in relatively good shape), felt like Rocky once at the top. They also have The Narrows hike, which is why I'll be going back soon since the weather didn't permit. *Travel tip* Spend the least amount of money on hotels/lodges because you're more than likely to be out and about.
As a person who did this hike, I can tell you that its easier than it looks. Now if you look off the edge you may get scared but its a fun climb!
I've hiked it. If it's windy, don't make the attempt. If it's wet, don't do it. Go slowly. Don't try to see how close to the edge you can get. Make sure your shoes fit well. Pay attention every second. If you heed this advice, you have a high chance of being ok.
Hiked it at 4am so I could see the sunrise. Was incredible!
Thanks for the video. My son and I did this hike yesterday. It was absolutely stunning. Very strenuous hike and not for the feint of heart!
Big props to you..I so wish I didn't have the severe vertigo I have. My daughter lives in SLC and has said she has seen more than one person frozen on the ledges, unable to move. I wouldn't have even sniffed the final ascent up the ridge.
*faint
J.R., on a scale of 1 - 10, how scary was this?
Thank you for sharing, I always wondered what it looked like a top of angels landing. Wow, how beautiful. Very breathtaking and very beautiful and amazing. Thank's again. 😀😀😀😀
Without the chains, it might be the scariest hike in America. I have a pretty severe fear of heights, and thanks to the chains, I was just fine. Just hold on to the chains.
I am a flat lander from Florida, climbed it, loved it, had a moment where I was going to stop and turn back, but I did not!
This video could have been named “how to raise your blood pressure in just 1 minute!”
I'm getting dizzy just looking at it on the screen.
Hiked this last year, saw a dad and his 8 year old pass me up on the way up lol. Cool experience
I was there in 2008. The way to the Angels Landing was well secured and therefore I wasn't scared. The Zion National Park is one of the most beautiful and most colorful region that I know.
Finished this hike today! Honestly looks a lot scarier in videos than in real life. Wasn’t as bad as I was expecting but still a fairly difficult hike!
I am doing something scarier everyday. Being a pedestrian on Indian roads without sidewalks. Even at 57, I am still alive.
'Indian' roads...?!
@@robertallen6710 Are you fucking thick?
@@jaybee2402 he slimthick.... 😆
That's beautiful, but there is no way in hell I'd have the nerve to do it.
I did this hike years ago; Angels Landing is the most breath-taking, spiritual hike I have ever done. Zion National Park is so beautiful. I highly recommend this destination for outdoor adventures
Great video. Thanks for filming and sharing your experience!
Huge drop offs yes, but wide open flat dry steps and more chains than dungeon, the only thing that is difficult is avoiding all the other tourists!
it's not the hike that's scary...it's the tourons on the trail.
Flat? Dry? Nah, try icy and snowy in December...
@@liamsmilie5430 Liam...what's it like being the most interesting man in the world?
My knees are literally numb right now...with fear that is. Oh my F gosh! You are insane for doing this and then recording. People are just casually looking down into the abyss. 👀
Lived in this canyon several years,while FPM at Zion Lodge walked this trail days and nights, one of the many in Zion. Loved it!
I'm so proud of myself hiking to the top. It was totally worth it!
i have been to 42 states of the USA so far and hiked and have been too almost all of the national parks of those states and i have to say that i did this when i was 11 and no trail tops this one. It is stunning the whole and it feels like your climbing a juggle gym. Highly recommend
Great video. Well done. Some commenters are saying the wide angle lens makes it look scarier than it is. I disagree. Other videos done with phones or GoPros flatten it, and make it look LESS scary than it is. I felt this one captures just how incredibly high and precarious it is. I did the hike a few weeks ago, and this video represents how it looked me. It was a fantastic experience. Worst part was passing other inexperienced hikers.
I hate to rain on your party here, but I've been up Angels landing 5 or 6 times now, and it's not the scariest hike in America. the angles of the camera make it look way more terrifying than it actually is. I've done plenty of hikes that scared me more thanAngels Landing. don't let this video scare you away from this hike; it's worth it. just don't be stupid and go off-trail, that's where people get injured or killed.
Yes! I know where I'm goin this summer. Thanks bro.
Looks amazing there. Defenetly on the bucket list!
Did this hike as a 65 year old with my 31 yr. Old son dedicated this hike to my little Grandson "Angel" best hike ever. Also great video footage.
Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Glacier, the Grand Tetons, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Big Sur, Yellowstone... I've visited them all many times. So much natural beauty. Dang, I'm sure glad I live in the West!!.
Green shirt dude was like hold my beer
Hiked this about 5 years back. It was one of the most amazing hiking experiences I've had. It's listed as one of the hikes you have to do before you die, so get out there and do it!
I agree
The quality of the video is so good it almost feels like you are there.
This is the most rewarding experience I’ve ever done . Thank you for letting me relive it safely lol
I was searching a hiking video to distract me from all of my studies and I am not sure what kind of emotions this caused. 🤣🤣🤣
"Hi, I'm Stevo and welcome to Jackass!" Proceeds to walk this trail on 1970's roller skates.
A guy running on this... oh Lord! I stood at the beginning of this hike many years ago, looked up at the trail and knew there was no way I could do it. But it was fun to watch everyone else.
This video gave me such anxiety. I can’t even get on my roof to hang Xmas lights 😂 Those small little sections without a chain and then the icing on the cake….the little kid sitting at the very end 😱 I think my heart stopped.
That is the coolest Trail I have ever seen wish I would have known about it when I was younger I am disabled now wouldn't be able to hike it so thank you for the video
Wow! Going to Zion in a couple of days and was curious about this one. Ah...I will freak out big time! Gotta pass on this one.
YIKES! My heart was in my throat the whole time!! What an adventure!!!
This is awesome! Have to put this on the list of hikes to do. Thank you for sharing!
Went there, but couldn't do it. too freaky. Damn kids were hoppin around like billy goats and I said, Nope!!! Beautiful scenery tho. Breathtaking!!!
I will never understand the fascination with these dangerous hikes. Beautiful scenery but if you trip, down you go. No thanks.
But if you don't trip, you live. You are capable. Growth can only come through new experiences. Think how scared you should be to do something as unnatural as driving a car. This is just walking and you are human, it's what you were made to do.
Think of how many people hike this. It's still riskier getting in a car. Gotta live
@@cbane I'm good bruh... I can walk flat ground in a nice park and if I happen to trip on something I probably won't die... everyone dies but id rather not fall 1000 feet into a canyon, experience sheer terror for those last moments and splatter my body. Worst thing yet.. if the fall doesn't kill someone instantly and they are a twisted mess with all sorts of compound fractures in terrible pain, unable to move with the brain still functioning and slowly fading out regretting the decision to go on that hike...
@@marksobo2001 I will take my chances in a car... so long as high speed impacts are avoided with immovable objects and trucks survival rates are rather good with modern safety features.
@@gravityhammer25 wow, that's quite a story. Seems like the world is a scary place for you.
I did this for the first time last year and watching this video is scaring me all over again. I was 56 yrs old and made it. Going again in a month. I just didnt allow myself to look down but one time and almost died of fright but Im glad i did it and not sure how the 2nd time will feel but its a gorgeous view and worth it if you can do it. :)
Just visited this past October and was blown away! What an incredibly jaw-droppingly gorgeous place! Definitely going back.
The first time I hiked this was in the winter and there was one place I crawled across. There was ice and I had my hands out to both sides so I could touch some rock. There are chains there now. This video starts just before what I called Separation Point. Everybody that went with me beyond that made it to the top and back down. The others turned around at that point. One evening I noticed how bright the full moon was and led a bunch of employees up. That was when I noticed that I was putting my hands and feet in the exact same places every time I went up. We were toasted at our wedding with May you hike up Angel's Landing a Thousand Times. Given T shirts to remember it. Eventually over 200 times. I carried my daughter up once. While sitting on top she looked up from her juice box and greeted three young guys who had just made it to the and were feeling pretty good about it. Hi. Smile. They were surprised to see someone so young on top, but they still enjoyed it. Sitting on top and talking to visitors about serenity, tranquility and peace of mind has always been among my best memories. I have had my 1,000 great hikes during my lifetime. These were the best.
I hiked up the trail. Saw the chain and said to myself "I'm good. I don't need to do that.".
Pussy.
That guy running at Angles Landing is nuts. I a here at Zion NP right now. I will going to Angles Landing tomorrow. Did the Narrows yesterday. Everyone here goes slow and carefully. The rangers say that at least 2 people die (fall) from Angles Landing every year. We just witnessed #3. Just now waiting for it to happen.
I was there, this video is so amazing, my wife and I felt scary when trailing to the top of the Angel's Landing. It was worth to hike .. enjoyed the views from the top the Angels Landing. thanks for the video..
no thank you hahahah I'm scared just watching this. gorgeous view though
You can do it!
Hiked it yesterday. Looks worse than it actually is. Totally worth the time to get the great views.
Ryan Wasson No thanks. I'll enjoy the view from the safety of my couch just fine.
Oh it looks gorgeous. The only problem is the nagging thought in the back of your mind saying that if you mess up once, you're dead for sure.
Polarbear 123 even my mom who’s not really a hiker did it at 50+ years old.. you could def do it

How long did it took you to reach the top?
He's right. I watched this before doing it. I also thought this would be too much but when you're there it does not appear as in the video. Trail is bigger than you think. If you are not stupid you will be fine. Two girls who came with us was also really scared watching the video. They were skipping on the way down.
Just did this hike this week. My wife and I got all the way through. It's absolutely crazy. I'm quite positive I'll never do that again.
Ah this brings back memories... my favorite hike of all time. It was hard but I loved the fulfillment of that scene at the top.
