Zion Day 1

We had a wonderful time in Zion National Park. The first day we were there we hiked a five mile trail called Angel's Landing. It was named that by a man who said of the lookout at the end, "Only an angel could land there." The first two miles were switchbacks like the ones in this picture. It was cool as we hiked up we could see the part of the trail we had been on earlier.

The last half mile before the lookout was steep and rocky and had chains you could hold onto.

At some points it dropped off on both sides, like this picture. It was so fun! 

At the top was a gorgeous view of Zion Canyon.

And we saw two of the seventy California Condors that live in Utah and Arizona.
