Nothing compares to Zion National Park in Utah. The views from hiking Angels Landing quiet most visitors with reverence and wonder. The switchbacks with exposed edges and long drop-offs make the steep 5.2-mile hike a cautious journey with astounding scenery. Angels Landing is often considered one of the most dangerous hikes in the world, so paying attention and staying present is key, both for safety and enjoyment. The landscape feels like the backdrop to a great adventure movie -- but it’s real life. Photo courtesy of Edie Call.
