    I definitely would not recommend hiking Angels Landing in the snow unless you are a very experienced hiker. Like I mentioned in the vlog, I have done this hike over a dozen times, 5 of those times being in the snow! Hope you guys enjoy! Thanks to Keeps for sponsoring this video!

      You climbed this thing 3+ times just filming and coming back down. I personally do not care for the Fake film crew view look, because we all know you are the one Filming this. WHY do YT'ers do this "LOOK AT ME Walking" View??? I just don't get it...?

      @@RVingwithG It's movie-making. He is making a creative cinematic film. And it is a beautiful way to make a film, although it is not for those who want a pure experience, because it is extra work. He is doing this for others. Personally, the most annoying YT'ers for me are those vapid blatherers with a GoPro on a stick yammering on and on in their fakey UA-cam voice, as it is pointed backwards at a face I really don't want to see.

    I hiked Angels Landing in 2010 with my son who had just graduated high school and was something I'll never forget. But you're hiking it in a snowstorm was mesmerizing. You really captured it on film and not having background music at certain parts was brilliant. Zion has it's own music. Thank you for this.

    Wow this is the best video of Angels Landing I've ever seen so far. The snow not only adds such a spectacular contrast to the rugged cliffs & trees, but meant the place was pretty quiet making it seem so wild & remote feeling. Not sure I'll ever get to go there myself, but thankfully get to see many wild places because people like you love to capture the magic of your trips & share with us. Brings back memories of my own trips into the mountains. The silence & stillness with fresh snow & little wind makes it surreal & gives me such joy & reverence like standing in a huge cathedral. Thank you for this clip. Amazing footage & well suited music too!

    That is very impressive. The silent snow makes Angel's Landing more dramatic. I don't know if I am brave enough to hike that with my camera. I don't think I could do this without a guide. But I would like to come here in the winter. I have walked around Grand Canyon in winter without spikes and we probably really needed them. I wouldn't do it again without getting some. It was similar with Chiricahua, and I think we really could have used spikes.
