Angels landing hike in winter, Zion national park – Utah, United States
I hiked up in the summer of 1998. It left me such a deep impression that I came back again feb. 8 2012. I arrived at the trailhead at about 10:40am. I was very concerned about the icy condition at the top.
I got to Scott lookout in less that 40min. Hiking here in winter is quite and cool. Much better than summer.
Looking up the trail, it was snow and ice. I came 10,000 mile to do this trip and I was not going to quit. I pressed on.
I felt it was not that dangous as I remembered. May be I was me mentally
prepared. I got to the top in about 20min.
What an accomplishment.
I found a note written by someone came yesterday. I wrote on the back of the paper.
I came back and met a man who did not go up. He asked how was there. My reply, same view as here and you are wise not going up there today.
