I did this hike almost 30 years ago, in March when there was still a little slush on the hog back. Glad I did it with a buddy, who had climbing experience will never forget that hike as long as I live.
I have watched a few RU-vidrs do this hike. One, I only way I knew she survived was that the video was posted. Clearly she pushed herself to exhaustion. Another tuber had the misfortune to hike on a day when someone intentionally lept to his death. That’s a mess to deal with. People should not take this hike lightly! Thanks for sharing your drama free experience.
Nathan you enjoy the journey more then the destination itself, so why the view is not as important, fits your channel name. I was at Angels Landing about 3 years ago, have a bad fear of heights so I walked about 25 yards up the beginning then went and did the West Trail I think is what it's called. BEAUTIFUL and a good workout for sure.
That brought back good memories. We did Walter's Wiggles but stopped at Angel's Landing. It was so beautiful up there . Definitely something I'll never forget!
It was nice you went Marissa’s brother and a friend. Glad you got a shuttle bus to get you there. And glad you all made it up to the top. I live the story of how it became Angels Landing. Great video. There were angels watching over all of you. Love you guys! 🤗 Have a great week and see you soon and safe travels.
Did this about 43 years ago with 3 three Air Force Buddies. I had and still have fear of heights. Watching this I have no idea how in the world I made it.
My distain for switchbacks is profound. Walter’s Wiggles may actually keep me from doing Angel’s landing! I’m with you Nathan. It’s about conquering the hike and getting back. I don’t like to linger. Y’all should come to WA and get permits to do St Helens. It is my favorite hike to date. Multiple terrain types and you can have your meal at the top of a volcano.
Thanks for sharing. I have a trip booked for end of February. Sadly I was not awarded a permit ahead of time for it. Hopefully I can get a day permit. It does irk me to know that people who are awarded permits sometimes don't use it or show up. That just becomes a wasted permit that no one else can use. Someone like me who spends about a grand to travel/lodge/car-rental with related expenses can't complete the trail because of this system with no accountability.
I was not always risk averting. But becoming a father, husband, and now a grandfather and caretaker to my wife I care too much about people who rely on me and care about me. I have fun watching your videos but can't fathom you and your choices.
Me and my wife hiked Angels Landing last July. Scary and strenuous hike but it was worth it. It was an awesome feeling once you reach the top. There is something about Angels Landing that makes you feel you want to go up there again sometime. 😎👍
I'm like Nathan - I got to the end, spent about 3 minutes enjoying the view and taking pictures, and then turned around and walked about 100 feet back to sit and enjoy my lunch lol.
Nope, nope and nope. I couldn't even go to scouts landing. I grew up in St George and never went on that hike. I don't like heights. Even watching videos makes my palms start to sweat and my heart race.
It’s really not that bad, just get a early start and avoid the traffic on the chains on the return. Don’t put your trust in strangers in those tight areas.
6:43 I took a picture of this sign when I hiked the trail in 2016 (before permits were mandatory). Back then it said “Since 2004, six people have died…” I just noticed that the NPS removed the word “six”.
We were at Zion a few months ago and I didn’t even consider this hike because of my fear of heights but it was fun to see you guys do it and what it’s like up there!
@@LessJunkMoreJourney THANK U !!!!! The 4k really makes the video pop. Your videography is always spot on. My wife and I went full time because of watching you guys. Hello from johnson City, TN.
