Route Climbed: Trail Date Climbed: Once a year or so...
Everytime we find an excuse to visit Zion, we hike this trail. The effort to view ratio is excellent, and it's just exciting and difficult enough that one loses the crowds erupting from the tour busses. If you only have one day in the park, do this hike.
This is probably the most fun short hike I've been on. The paved beginning is a pain, but that last half mile more than makes up for it. I would drive the five hours to Zion just for this hike.

Did this little beauty just a couple of months ago. Very nice half-day hike/climb. Ascending/descending the chains, on the upper portions of the ridge, is the best part! Extremely nice views of Zion Valley from the summit as well!
Route Climbed: Angels Landing Trail Date Climbed: April 22, 2001
Started from Zion Lodge at 8:30am and passed about 15 people on the way to the summit. Second one on top that day so it was quite nice. Excellent views, but get here early to avoid the crowds.
After a nice lunch, I drove out to do the 15.2 mile round trip hike to Kolob Arch through Hop Valley. Read about this day in my trip report.
