Angels Landing

The most popular and scary designated hike in the park. Most of this is secured by chains and there are several places where only one person can go in either direction. Very dangerous, people have fallen to their death on this trail. Extreme heights and fall exposure exist the entire length of the trail. All that said, the 360 views at the point are second to none.
Angels Landing is one of the most popular destinations in Zion National Park. Many who go there want to experience untamed adventure and get a classic photograph. Its name descends from Methodist minister Frederick Vining Fisher who, on his first visit to Zion Canyon in 1916 allegedly quipped only an angel could land there.
The hike is very strenuous. Expect to use both hands and feet to complete this hike. Rock scrambling using narrow grabs/footholds on very steep, uneven rock surfaces is mandatory.
The most infamous part of the hike is the ascent up the chains. The intermittent metal chain offers hikers something to hold during the last half mile of trail along a knife-edge ridge. Since 1930, the majority of deadly accidents have taken place on this section of trail.
Do not leave the path. It is easy to get hurt if you are irresponsible.
Take your time and be patient with slower hikers.
Allow faster hikers to pass you (when possible).
Where available, remain within reach of the chains.
Be considerate. There are many places that are only safe for one person to travel the two-way route. Communicate and take turns with others.
In winter, the metal chains are very cold. Gloves may be useful.
