Don't do this unless you're crazy...
and we're crazy
Gotta fuel up for our hike today with a ho-made pie
Hey everybody and welcome to Zion National Park
We are here at the trailhead for Angel's Landing. This place is called the Grotto
Now we're here in winter and the shuttles for this park are not running. So parking spaces are limited
I suggest you get here early to snag yourself a parking spot
But I am so happy to be here
I am so excited to hike Angels Landing.
This is my first time in Zion it is stunning. It is unreal
As you can see this is a very dangerous hike... but danger is my middle name
I think the end of the trail is up there
long way to go
So according to the maps and stuff this hike is about two and a half miles one way
Pretty much all up on the way there and I all down on the way back. So I'm feeling it already
This is not fun. Don't do it
Especially after 2 other uphill hikes yesterday.
You got to pace yourself when you do things like this
Maybe not three or four strenuous hikes in two days
Just sheer cliffs traight up and that's what we're climbing. Hehe, that's exciting
Just keeps getting progressively steeper and harder on the legs and the lungs
This is too much uphill. Why Dave?
Why did you make me do this?
You made your choice. You knew what this was
It's tough to see but these are all switchbacks just going 15 feet, going back 15 feet and continuing
what are these called?
Walter's Wiggles
Walter's Wiggles, that is such a fun name
Rubbish! I'm having fun!
There's our destination
Okay, we stopped here for a little water and snack break
Now it's time to tackle the last part, the hardest part, the funnest part. Let's do it
So far so good, but it's just getting steeper.
There are kind of these little footholds here
Peer over this edge... that is straight down
So Todd you've been here before but you've never been to the top of angels landing
No, I've been half way. Too icy
So this will be your first time up there. Yeah. All right, let's do it
If you have any fear of heights this hike is not for you. because it's a long way down
That is the last of the tough stuff
We made it
We are here, we've made it. it is such a relief
Wow, that was one heck of a hike. the views are stellar here. unreal
You know, they say this is so high that only an angel can get here.
well, now I think I know my true identity
You can actually see where we parked way down there. That's the path we came on too
Glad I did it. Another thing off my bucket list
Now for the hike down
We're looking back at where we just were. we're like, how did we get up that?
This is just a crazy hike. don't do this unless you're crazy
You know, I really wonder who the first person was to
Look at that mountain and say, "no matter what I'm gonna get to the top of that" and he didn't have these sidewalks
Or the chains to help him out. It's like
how?
We're back walking on flat ground
Honestly, it feels really weird right now to walk on flat ground
Wow you guys angels landing is the hike of a lifetime
It is just a crazy, stupid, and very awesome hike to do. the awesome views just made it all worth it
It was Incredible
let me know in the comments if you would do angels landing if you liked the video
