Angels Landing

You know summer is arriving in southern Utah when you can go on a hike without having to walk through snow. A few of us decided to tackle one of the more scenic, and death defying, hikes in Zion National Park, Angels Landing. That's one of the benefits of having an outdoors section in our newspaper, we can go on spectacular hikes and call it work.

Even from the parking lot you can capture a surreal scene:
