Angels Landing Hike - Ascent & Descent | Zion National Park | Utah | 4K | GoPro HERO 7 Black

- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- The Angels Landing hike is considered amongst the scariest and most rewarding hikes in North America, offering panoramic and stunning views of the canyon. The hike starts from the Grotto Trailhead in Zion National Park and follows the West Rim Trail. The summit of Angels Landing is around 1500 feet above the canyon floor. This video was shot when I hiked up to Angels Landing on March 8, 2019. I had hiked up to the summit twice a couple of weeks before (in February 2019) and there was a lot of ice and snow on the trail at that time - was a pretty scary hike as it was hard to get a foothold due to all the ice. Two weeks later, the ice was all gone and it was a gorgeous hike up to the summit. I did the hike again on March 22, 2019 - it was raining that day, but was still a gorgeous hike. That video can be found at • Angels Landing In The ... .
I shot this footage with a GoPro Hero 7 Black (Dusk White edition). For the most part, the camera did fine, except that it didn't record for a few minutes on my way up.

I've done this trail 3 times in the late 90's...Summer, Fall (the best), and Spring (with snow on the route). One of the true epic hikes in our park system.
My palms are literally sweaty after watching this
mine too. going there in a few months and was considering this hike, but dont think I can. lol
MIne, too.
My son is going to do this next month. I fell outa bed just watching.
After watching this video and hearing about this guy who fell this week I am not doing it. It's a bone chilling hike. I will stick with moderate trails since I already have balancing issues. Thanks for uploading the video. Maybe this video saved my life because I was going to do it tomorrow.
I did the hike except didn't go to the very top at the end and it was great. I have mobility issues, but used my walking sticks and did ok. You can still see so much without doing that climb. There were a lot of people going up that day and it wasn't worth it to me. Happy Hiking!
People die falling down the stairs.. Are you going to let that stop you from living? Don't be a pussy. Thousands of people do this hike each year.
polifatts if it wasn’t for the carelessness of the others that are on that narrow trail, might make it bearable. To risk dying because someone else couldn’t be patient, is a valid risk people take when it’s crowded.
@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath I have balancing issues because I recently went blind in one eye so I am not being a pussy.
This is in the winter when nobody's there, don't even try doing it in the summer. I was in the park for the first shuttle in the morning at 6 am and it was stuffed, the next shuttle was also full but i crammed in anyway, got to the trail and idk how so many people where there already. Hiking that narrow section with back to back people going up and down is the most terrifying thing i've ever done, Im an avid outdoorsman, backpacking, surfing, i've skydived, and this was worse. I've done some very sketchy hikes, the terrain here isn't bad, it's the amount of people that makes it dangerous and unenjoyable, full traffic on a 2ft wide section 1500ft in the air. I have a picture of the narrow part, back to back people, both directions. Im not sure that most people knew how dangerous that was. I do not trust a hoard of strangers to not slip, or bump me, or whatever. Another huge part is how rude everyone was with oncoming foot traffic, extremely inconsiderate, practically pushing me off trail to get their fat unable bodies past me, taking the entire area because they can't balance. Awesome. Most of the hike was great, but what should have been the best part was purely hell for me. Im a very aware person when it comes to risks, having said that i asses those risks and do insane things. But this has way to many unknowns and your basically putting your life in strangers hands to trust them not to slip. National parks are seeing huge numbers of people, and it isn't as safe as it was a few years ago. I will have to return some winter.
Watched this zillion time to gather the courage to go for it !! Had the best time doing the hike. It was Scary, and literally not for people having fear of heights.. One should go for it with great great caution. Great effort on video. 👍🏻
Excellent perspective of this hike. Not for beginners, and even experienced hikers need to take great care.
Hi Laurel, I too make outdoor and hiking videos with a nice relaxed and quiet nature! You might enjoy them if you could spare time to look. Thanks - Tom
Very amazing and dangerous.RIP to the man who fell and died on Wednesday April 18 2019.We were there at the Emerald Pool..
Surely huge backpacks are dangerous in a place like this. When people manouvre to get past each other their packs swing round looking like they're about to knock someone into space.
I did this hike about 20 years ago, when I was in my early 20s. I don't have a fear of heights, but I respect gravity. The last bit going up over the fin was okay on the way up, but terrifying on the way down. I remember passing two seasoned hikers who were on their hands and knees crawling down. This last bit of the trail is definitely not for the faint of heart. The view from just before ascending the chained area is quite good and getting up to that point is not scary unless you have a true phobia with regard to heights. If you're a calm and focused hiker, this is an unforgettable hike.
Thanks for the tip looks beautiful but i think ill faint....so ill pass lol
I remember doing this when I was 17. I remember not being afraid at all and that it wasn't hard.
These days I can barely stand to watch someone else do it on my monitor.
Did it when I was 19, same thing. I’ve always been scared of heights, but it didn’t seem horrible at the time.
Watching this at 39 with my girlfriend who plans to go to the top tomorrow and I can barely finish the video, hands and feet drenched.
Something tells me she’s doing the ascent on her own. 😬🤦🏻♂️
Did this, and Half Dome as well. I was thrilled and happy to have had the experience both times. But in all candor, I was also very relieved to get down again.
Done both as well, the cables on Half Dome seemed much more sketchy of the two.
I left my pride at Angel’s Landing. With full intent on doing it, my buddy and I both chickened out and came back down after about a 30 foot ascent.
Respect, as this is much harder than it looks. It’s completely mental. You have to remind yourself “don’t panic. Don’t pass out, because if I do, I’m dead”.
Such a beautiful and majestic place!
It's great that you turned around when you felt it was not for you. So many folks keep going on and then freeze at the narrow parts. Not worth it. Maybe one day you will be able to do it in its entirety.
@@NikhilShahi I would love to face it once again and finish what I started. Thank you for the wonderful quality of the video, and for sharing with us your lived experience. Just watching made me envision being back there again. Again, thank you for that. I look forward to seeing more of your hiking experiences!
Thanks for taking this hike for me as I could never do it. Looks very dangerous. I was nervous just watching the video and so happy when you got to the parking lot! I was amazed at all the people hiking up as you are coming down. Kudos to all who make this hike. By the way your music to the video is great.
Thanks for doing it so I didn’t have to. This looks so much better than when I was there this summer! Jam packed with people two lanes wide. So sketchy
It has gotten really crowded nowadays - not surprised that the NPS is issuing permits starting April 1, 2022.
Thanks so much for this video. Most comprehensive video of this trail I’ve seen so far. I will probably watch this video several more times to help me prepare for this trail lol
I did this hike last weekend. It was nooo joke!
My son took me and my wife up to the Scout Point. That was in the summer of 2019. It was crowded. I just went up to the start of the chains just to have a look. I wasn't planning to go further. I am afraid of heights now, though I wasn't earlier in my life. Now I am 75 and don't have the confidence to balance. Your video was extremely well shot. It showed me exactly how the hike further up is and thank you for that. I have seen many videos but none like this one which is crisp and clear and having fewer persons trekking up is always good when you are shooting a video.
Thanks for sharing the experience. I'm physically unable to do such a hike, plus wouldn't like the heights even if I could. Perhaps my fear of heights is partly because not able to have balance & strength, so my brain knows to say "NO!". Either way, never doing that hike in person. So... just went along riding on your shoulder.
That was awesome seeing this hike with your GoPro. I did this hike but I was mostly looking were I needed to step next. I would hike this again.
Did this hike. Was amazing and the view at the top was well worth it
No it was not.
It's a big Yes for me. I live on the Atlantic coast, you have to go BIG sometimes and to be up there with those cool people and scenery, I'm all in !!!!
Made it to the second set of chains way to many people and 55 to 60 mph winds; gonna have at it this September FIRST THING IN THE MORNING!!!!! Ace vid.
You made a very smart decision to turn back if it was that crowded. It is not worth it - the issue won't be you, but other folks that are ill-prepared and might cause an accident. I also recommend starting the hike with the first shuttle, or (like me), just going in the winter (when they allow cars on the scenic drive) and starting at dawn. You will barely have any people at that time.
@@NikhilShahi Thanking you; any other hikes you may have done? With wisdom Any questions on Ft. Lauderdale or the Florida Keys; I'll help the best I can.
@@mr.elastomeric1787 If you are in that area, then definitely do Buckskin Gulch from Wire Pass trailhead. Buckskin is the longest slot canyon (perhaps in the world) at around 16 miles or so. You park at Wire Pass Trailhead (you can Google Map it) and then hike in a wash for around a mile or so until you hit WIre Pass slot canyon. Then you continue on until you hit the confluence with Buckskin - make a right at that T junction and now you are in Buckskin. Go as far as you want to. It is a permitted hike, but no limits on permits and you can buy them for yourself and your dog (dogs are allowed) for $6 per person/ dog, online. Other than that in Zion, you must have done The Narrows. Observation Point is closed from the canyon, but you can do it via the East Mesa Trailhead behind Ponderosa Ranch.
My favorite hike is from Lava Point or the West Rim Trailhead on the Kolob Terrace Road until The Grotto (the start of Angels Landing hike). You have an outfitter drop you off via shuttle at the West Rim Trailhead at sunrise, and then you hike the 15 to 16 miles through gorgeous Zion backcountry scenery. It is 3000 feet elevation drop - that is the good part about doing it this way. You simply hike down. If you want to do it the other way - hike up from The Grotto, past Angeles Landing, you will be climbing up 3000 feet. I much prefer coming down as it is not as tiring.
Finally, I love The Subway hike in ZIon. It is remote, permit only - but a fantastic hike with gorgeous landscape at the end.
@@NikhilShahi Cant wait to get back; love everything you said straight up knowledge from the Heart. Any other spots. Wow checked out Sand Hollow State Park, bit crazy but I loved it. Amazing how fast two weeks; everything sells out. Must be something Well Hmm.
I hiked a good amount of this trail, however i am scared of heights especially when im on a edge of massive cliff. I had to turn back, but dispite my fears i went most of the way and did enjoy it. Even if you just do half the hike it is safe and really cool.
Oh really?! I may try now 😂
I'm terrified of heights and I am going in November! Wish me luck 😂
@@barringtonmorris90 good luck
@@simplyoutstanding did you go
@@simplyoutstanding dis you go,??
Thanks a lot of sharing this !! Gives a very good insight for first timers.
Let’s not skimp on the chain please! I’m happy with some on the other side too... maybe some across the flat bits while you’re at it. Oh & maybe a diazepam vending machine because that’s the only way I could get through this 😭
It’s a No for me however, ZION may be the most beautiful environment I have ever seen (better than The Grand Canyon in my opinion).
Grand Canyon is overrated. Zion and Bryce are more exciting IMO.
@@1jesus2music3duke I agree. The Grand Canyon is vast and a lot to take in. You feel unimportant when visiting the GC.
I hiked to the top of Angels landing first of May this year with my daughter and I can assure you it is not near as scary as it looks on videos. Would do it again in a heartbeat!
@@raymondtroyer2588 well thank you for the reassurance.
@@1jesus2music3duke Sedona too
I've found through experience that these kinds of hikes often look MUCH scarier on video than they do in person. I did Hidden Canyon, Angels, and a few others in Zion... And also the full Kalalau trail which is also rated in the top 10 most dangerous hikes on the planet. My stomach would turn and my palms sweat when I'd watch the videos of "Crawlers Ledge" on the Kalalau trail. But, when I was there and seeing/doing it in person, I actually felt no fear. Don't underestimate yourself with these hikes. If you're safe and cautious, you can do these hikes with little to no stress. And they don't look near as terrifying as they do on these GoPro cams.
Totally agree!
Absolutely true
As someone who doesn't like heights, I disagree. I went on a trail that was similar to the middle part (steep on one side), and I was almost on my hands and knees in a few places.
Not true at all. Looks even scarier in person.
Try to hold my breath while watching this video but i will definately hike like this with no fear looks fun😍
I wonder if anyone has made it to the top and had a panic attack thinking they have to descent.
This video is as close as I’ll ever get to hiking Angel’s Landing and I’m okay with that lol
The wind in the beginning FF sounds like a demon tornado
I’m so confused by this. How is this allowed. The fact that you have to pass other people 😭 is there a waiver?? Props to you!!!
Looks lot worse on video then actually is. Was lots of fun
Fuen una gran experiencia poder vivir esto, aunque mis piernas me temblaban, pero es algo espectacular.
Gracias por compartir...
How could this trail possibly be legal? This has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth!
I think the wide angle view of the GoPro makes this seem even scarier.. makes the path seem so small!
Yes, you are right. The GoPro FOV does make this look scarier than it really is. Even though I did not use the super-wide view (just the wide).
What kind of mount did you use to video?
Man, were you nervous or what? You white-knuckled those chains haha! Gotta seriously hand it to ya, dude. I got up to Scout's Lookout and that's as far as I'll go.
Christina, the first time I did it I was definitely terrified - as I foolishly did it when it had snowed and there was around 10 inches of snow and ice on the trail. Plus I had no traction gear on my shoes. Never again! :-)
M encantan estos videos estoy tan impresionada q estoy con un vuelco en el estomago
took this hike today! My dad mentioned this and I got curious and I found it!
Chains are a big help!
Omg watching this makes my stomach tingles
Great Video! - Summit Date: June 05, 2019
1st time watching someone going down
Wow! Amazing shots! I love utah
I am so wanting to go there and go all the way to the summit, I must do it this year!
Definitely do it this year as they plan to put permits into place (via a lottery) from March of next year. Or you could try and go in the winter months when there is no lottery.
Loved this! Brought back memories. There were moments in your video I asked myself "I actually did that?" But I don't regret it. The view was breathtaking. You truly understand why that plateau was named Angels Landing.
Thank you for your video with music that is more upbeat and encouraging. Question for you (even though I see you posted this about 4 years ago): Did you see anybody slip during descent? During descent did you find yourself going backwards or going down on your behind? I'm mainly nervous about going down and tumbling. Especially during the parts where there is no chains but you are expected to traverse the wider sides. Trying to mentally prepare. Thank you for your helpful video!
I'm going there next month and I felt relieved when you made it back!!! Looks so scary but I get the impression that when you do it you come out a better person, lol.
My lord it looks so narrow at points!!! Looks like if u take a wrong step ur gone! I want to do but wow!
That couple went flying around you on the descent 😅😂
Done the hike. Had a reservation for the first group going up. Absolutely zero park rangers when we started. The park periphery didn’t show up until we were done with the hike. Last time, we met a couple who knew someone who fell from the top of Angels Landing. The person whom fell had kids waiting for him at the Lodge. Sad.
But side note the brunch at the Lodge is excellent. I usually only eat a cup of yogurt and some coffee but after that hike ate two breakfast.
Did this hike yesterday. Great video, dude!
I litterally loved the second part in wich u showed the "backed to the carpark" trail. Seems super long! How much does it take? Thanks also for showing all the trail to the top and down
Thanks much. The hike is 1.9 miles, one way up to Scout Lookout (and then another 0.5 mile one way, to the top of Angels Landing via the chains). It takes between 45 minutes to 1 hour to go from Scout Lookout to the parking lot.
The image stabilization on the Hero 7 is amazing!
It really is. I was holding off getting a GoPro as I thought I would need a gimbal, but once I saw what the Hero 7 was capable of, I didn't hesitate to buy it. This coupled with the Digipower Re-Fuel pack and I get a good 6+ hours of battery shooting 4K video.
Lovely. I unfortunately failed big time and turned around. Yet it's not the end. I'll return.
my most intense hike ive ever done .I still dream about it sometimes haha
I appreciate the posting. I can picture myself crossing the unchained flats on my hands and knees with a nice big backpack full of Depends. “A man ‘s got to know his limitations” sayeth Dirty Harry. I’d rappel down, but just couldn’t make the climb.
Spectacular!
Wow! Did you wear the GoPro on your head? The angles were awesome. What quality did you shoot in? Which GoPro? Sorry for all the questions!!
Hi Christina. Yeah I had the GoPro on my head. I used the GoPro Hero 7 Black (I just bought that a couple of days ago and am still getting familiar with it). I shot in 4K 60 for the video at Wide (not fisheye). :-)
Lihkin Ihahs it’s amazing what a GoPro can do!
@@NikhilShahi what were your video settings and is this output at 30 fps? Color correction in post? ND filters?
@@Luckyboyee777 Hi there. I recorded at 4K/ 60. Used protune and set my shutter speed manually at 4X of the frame rate (you can do 2X and it will work just fine - so at 1/ 120s). My ISO was variable upto ISO 400. I did do color correction in post (since I had protune enabled) and I use FCP (which I really like). I had ND filters with me, but didn't use them for this trip.
i was so out of shape, getting up those crazy stairs killed me haha but i made it to the top
Crazy emmer effing bucket list hike. Did it May 2019.
I've twice made it to the spot shown at 1:27. The initial chains aren't bad, and it looks better once you get higher...but that spot...it's an unbearable amount of exposure when you factor in passing other people.
IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS HIKE... go VERY EARLY so you can hike in the shade AND theres less people. I got there at 6:45, but i recommend 6:00 honestly. 💓🤙🏼hike on and be careful, it was a hell of a hike but a hell of a view.
Uh, i would say don't go in the summer. I did the 6am thing in summer, the number of people was insane and dangerous. And im usually the last person to say such a thing.
After watch this, i cancel my trip
Kevinlong, don't cancel your trip - it is not that bad as it seems on camera. :-)
@@NikhilShahi I agree.. I've done this hike years ago and it was great and wasn't bad at all.. watching your video still gave me chills and I'm asking myself "I really did this???" lol.
there are other hikes without high heights
You can still hike it and stop before the chain.
Agreed....my wife and I discussed making this trip and taking on the challenge. We both got weak in the knees just watching this....I can imagine the sensation would be 10x worse in reality. I think another beach trip is in order!!
Ill try this for sure looks fun!!!
I did that exact hike a few months ago, got to the first tree using the chains and I got soooo scared. I sat there for awhile, but looking at how other people were going up,....... Nope!
Great video! Did you have the GoPro on a head strap or a chest strap?
Hi Vivek - I had it on my head with a head strap.
Great 1st person video. It’s everything people say it is. Does the GoPro wide angle make it look narrower than it is at parts? Are steps by the chains generally flat? Some of the sections look like it’s at at 45 degree angle… hmm. I look forward to doing it one day.
Yeah, the GoPro does make it look narrower than it really is due to the ultrawide angle lens. Some sections are indeed steep. If you don't have a fear of heights, then you will love it.
Probably the moat stunning view in the US.
I'm looking to go in a week. Any tips for someone with a gopro5? i have no chest mount. Is that what youre using in this video? Also, do you wish you bought something else for it after making this? A better mount because it was uncomfortable or not as steady as youd like? Change up settings? Any help appreciated!
Hi Albert. No, I did not use a chest or head mount as that made it to jerky (even with stabilization). I just hand held it on a stick like a shorty stick. I don't think I would have got anything else. Settings wise I just use ProTune with manual settings for ISO, Shutter Speed and keep it at Flat and low sharpness. I then color grade etc in FCP.
How many GoPro batteries did you bring for the hike and What size MicroSD card did you use? I'm trying to decide between the head or chest strap for my next climb.
Hi Andrew. I just had one battery, but it was attached to the Refuel extended battery pack which gives you another 5 to 6 hours shooting in 4K. I was using a 128 GB card and used around 25% of the capacity.
I would choose the chest strap as with head strap, the footage might look shaky as you're looking in all directions while climbing. With the chest strap it'll point straight ahead.
@@NikhilShahi Thanks, I'll give it a go with the chest strap. I was going to get the refuel pack also. Did you use any filters? Really great video btw, I'm planning on heading the end of May
@@andrewgaw2462 Thanks buddy and good luck with the video on AL. Definitely try and take the first shuttle if you are going in May as the crowds will be insane if you go later. I did not use any filters (but intend to buy the ND and the CPL soon). I just got back from hiking 'The Subway' today (2nd time in a week). The first time, my GoPro gave me problems and wouldn't record. Today, it worked flawlessly and I got some awesome footage. Will post that soon.
@@andrewgaw2462 BTW, I should mention that I wanted smoother footage. This video was shot with the head mount and it is not very smooth. I went again on Thursday to Angels Landing and used a shorty stick this time around and got much better footage. You can check it out at ua-cam.com/video/hligsER6mpw/v-deo.html - you will notice that the video is smoother. So you might want to carry a stick also just to ensure you get smooth footage (if you want). I think having a little bob adds to the feel of being there. YMMV.
@@NikhilShahi I honestly really like that you used the head strap because it allowed the people viewing the video to see what you saw. The chest strap wouldn't have given the same perspective of the hike.
I get nervous just watching you!
Wow, how did you manage to have so few other humans on the trail with you?
James, the trick is to go in Jan or Feb - there is literally no one on the trails (but you risk the trail being icy).
@@NikhilShahi Luckily I went many years ago when it wasn't yet mobbed. Great video. Thanks!
Curious, did you have a head strap for your go pro? Awesome footage!
Thanks much. I tried it first on my head and that didn't work too well. So I just attached it to a shorty and hand held it. I think it's more stable that way.
Is there still a chain to hold on to between 0:53-1:05? Perhaps the chain is out of the POV
Yes, the chain is the left side. 🙂
How much time did the round trip take you?
Hi Mike. It took me 3.5 hours round trip to the summit of Angels Landing (including the chains). If you just want to do the hike until Scout Lookout, where the chains start, then it should take you between 2 and 2.5 hours.
Thank you.
Is it really hard as it's seen? I mean should I get in shape before doing this or it's just the height that's make this looks tough?
it is not that bad honestly - if you are scared of heights, it might be an issue in places. But if heights don't scare you, then you will be just fine.
I did this hike in May of 2017. I would love to do this hike again.
The only way I'd cross the very narrow parts is if I was wearing a Base Jumping Rig!
It's a NO for me as well. But thank you for these videos.
How many people die each year doing this hike? Looks too dangerous.
So i'm going to zion in a few weeks. I REALLY wanna do this hike but my mom has a bad knee and it hurts going down even on flat steady surfaces, is this hike still possible you think?
If she has a bad knee, I would advise against it. She can go to Scout Lookout, before the chains start (the chains are the last 0.5 mile), but even climbing up to Scout Lookout is a 1000 feet climb (will she be okay with hiking poles)? Maybe she can wait for you at Scout Lookout while you go to the summit of Angels Landing? Apart from the chains and narrow path, there are sections where you need to climb a rock to get to the next part of the trail (i.e. the last half mile is not just one steady climb). You must do it if you can though - it is a lot of fun.
@@NikhilShahi ok thank you. Zion is the last stage of our trip so her current mindset is f*ck it, we are going home after anyway, but still don't want her to hurt herself
Just completed it 😎
What kind of mount did you use for your gopro? Head, chest?
Hi Armando. I used a head mount for some shots, but mostly it was just handheld.
An entire dump truck FULL of "no". NO.
Enjoy the instrumental @ the 7:30 mark👌🏾 who’s that by? I plan on hiking the trail next Sunday! Hopefully it’s not too crowded 🤞🏾
fernandez shaw it's Rainy Days by Joakim Karud.
Nice video, enjoyed watching it and it helped me relive my own hike up. I first hiked it I was 50, but balked at Scout's Lookout - sat there 20 minutes debating with myself and finally said nope! But I regretted that and went back the next year and completed it. Then again about 5 years later. Am currently getting back therapy and my one therapist is out there this week. I talked her into trying out the hike and she and her BF are going to - I hope they can finish it. I'd love to go again, but am now 69 and think the "pain" would outweigh the pleasure, but I'm so glad I did do it the times I did. Have you ever hiked the cables on the back of Half Dome in Yosemite? Comparable in challenges and another one to have on a hiker's bucket list.
how long did it take you to do this hike?
Maureen Cabrera it's around 3 to 4 hours round trip.
is this an out and back trail or a loop? i don’t think i could do it twice
Hi Sofia - it is out and back. It's really not that bad if you are okay with heights.
Is this up one side and down the other or up and back?
This is up and back - you go up and come back down via the same route.
@@NikhilShahi thank you and great video..
I would love to do this hike but I'm scared! How many minutes hike from the bottom to the top?
Should I need a guide lol?
Hi Josiefry - don't be scared. The hike is very doable. It is 2.5 miles from the bottom (trailhead) until the summit of Angels Landing. It should take you around 1.5 hours or so to complete one-way (you will take a little longer during the last 0.5 miles on the chains). You don't need a guide for this - it is very clearly marked. Have fun!
Angel's landing, says the devil.
Did you used a headband to hold the camera?
Yeah, for this video I did use a headband. For the other video of Angels Landing (the one with the rain) I just put it on a shorty stick. I prefer the stick because if you have it on a headband, the camera looks where you look. So if you tend to look down or away every few seconds, the video can be pretty disjointed.
@@NikhilShahi I brought both devices for this trip. I feel a little nervous and I feel like I should have both hands free. Much thanks!
i did this hike yesterday, may8th 2021 and i cried all the way down
Is it scarier going down than up?
How were the crowds and how was the weather? I'm going May of next year.
I wonder if I could do this. I want to try at least. My endurance is terrible and I nearly died doing 10 miles straight up the bald of a hill in 110 weather, but this is shorter and I have no fear of heights. It does seem super steep though and I'm not sure I'm strong enough lol
How long of a hike is this?
My friend Ore The Shepherd it's around 1.5 hours, one way.
Must be bonkers to do this😂😂😂😂worse coming down ughhhhhh!!!!!!! Especially passing people. Completely amazing place though!!!!!
Do you need to get a permit to climb
No you don't.
Great video, I am doing this hike on October 20th. Anyone trekked the canyon in late October , wondering what weather is like. Sleeping in various locations for 6 nights.
Regards your video. At the end, is the GoPro set to time lapse, to capture the sped up finish ??
Hi there. the weather in October will be very nice and you might get to see the fall colors. Definitely do The Narrows and Angels Landing. If you are an avid hiker, I highly recommend the 15.5 mile West Rim Trail from Lava Point - that trail is awesome because you can pay a shuttle $40 to drop you off at Lava Point and then simply hike down to the valley floor. The views on the way are spectacular and the hike can be done in around 6 to 8 hours.
I used the GoPro Hero 7 using its time-lapse feature.
Was the GoPro fixed to your chest or head ?
@@sydney2002 neither. I had it on a small shorty like stick in my hand. I found that it is more stable that way. Having it on the head poses a problem - that the camera looks where you look. So when hiking, you are looking around, down at your feet etc. and that makes for very annoying footage. Having it in the hand meant that it could point straight ahead, without changing the framing.
Many thanks. I guess I need to buy a stick then :) and understand the time lapse option too
Just finished this 2 hours ago, had to show my crew what they missed out on by stopping before the chains. I tell you though, that narrow section between the 2 ridges nearly made me puke from nerves
Glad you were able to enjoy it. I love that hike.
Is it doable in December ? Thanks
Yeah totally doable - but depends on whether the trail has snow. If it has snow/ ice then you will need crampons. I have done it with a few inches of snow and it was just fine with my crampons.
i went there, but not the angels landing; my fear of heights said nooo.
