Angels Landing, So difficult to select some pictures
to give an impression of this monolith, and the views
along the way.



And how to bring Zion in a few pictures ?
Just Impossible.

The angle landing is small, and steep up.





Where else, I saw an angle coming down



Not being unfair to the Angels, but
if you up the next plateau, then you see
that they selected a down to earth place.
The landing is a small top, related to the
surrounding peaks.





The next miles, disappeared in the back
country. Even a few (small) springs
in unexpected very high places.  Causes
small dipping down of water. But imagine
what a huge thunderstorm would do



The way down. What goes up, comes down, and this
is always easier. For Angle Landing, there are 3 major
sets of switch backs. And this is the last in the series
on the way down.


And Zion has unlimited views of sky high
rocks. But next time, I should plan for
for going up 18 miles the Virgin river in full
wet suit gear.
