| Angels Landing Trail is one of the park's most strenous day hikes, but it offers spectacular vistas. It follows the West Rim Trail through the famous switchbacks of Walters Wiggles, past dramatic views at Scout Lookout, and on up to a high point 1,500 feet above the canyon floor. The steep, isolated cliff faces along this trail provide critical habitat for several species, including th eperegrine falcon. This small raptor climbs, swoops, and dives with stunning power and grace, reaching speeds of over 100 miles per hour. Distance (5 miles/8 km.). Elevation Gain is 1488 ft. (453 m). The last half mile follows a steep, narrow ridge; chains have been installed in this section for support. |
