Scout Lookout is the closest you can hike to Angel’s Landing without a permit, and it offers much of the beauty of that hike without the anxiety of the chains section. To get to Scout Lookout, we’ll take the West Rim Trail takes us straight up the side of Zion Canyon; you’ll have to work for the views. Once at the top, you get panoramic views of Zion and a front-row seat to watch people navigating the chains. While challenging, this hike has no scary edges, narrow chain sections, or permit requirements.

Just hiked up to Scout lookout today in the the afternoon and I am a 55 year old pretty fit person so I did not have a problem but I took a few short breaks. when you get through the relatively flat area that is shaded part, that is whem you get to Walters Wiggles (the real 21 tight switchbacks) right before reaching the top and has the highest grade (at least it seemed like it). It took about 55 minutes to go up and about 35 minutes to come down. Words of advice that should go without saying: 1) Wear proper footware - Flipflops, sandals and dress shoes are not proper footware (2) Take Water with you and not just one 12 ounce bottle 3) wear a hat as the sun is beating down on you and with the rock all around you, it is hotter than the temps at the bottom 4) take breaks as needed and there are shady spots, especially at Walter's wiggles and when you get higher. While these tips are certainly just common sense, we saw a lot people with no water and wearing flip flops. Have fun and enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors. It is a doable hike if you take your time and take breaks as needed.

Fantastic video and even better detailed information.. Hiked this back in Aug 2015, up to Scouts landing, then as far as touching the Chains, then turned around.Fear of height kick in here..Too bad missed other view turning left, going up and looking down at Angels landing did not know about it. Took some spectacular photos of the trail got last picture at top of Scouts landing, where chains began when battery died in camera and no extra one.Bummer if ever of all places...Thank God I got the last photo on top..

Never seen before such a professional discription of a hike. This is all planned by a Master!. Great job man!!! Gonna do that hike next year in august. Thanks Mister Guy. Greetings, Rockie (Belgium)

@tamahagane6083 Год назад

Thanks!! That’s one of the best detailed walkthroughs of a hike that I’ve seen. Keep them coming

Scout's Landing sounds do able. Angel's Landing is lunacy.

@aspenvideos Год назад

I don't remember the last time I've commented on a video but I just had to say that this is video is incredible. Well done, sir.

@Hikingguy Год назад

Whoa Kevin, big thank you!

@mrgaaconnell135 Год назад

Dear Hiking Guy, Just finished the Scout's Landing video. Well, however hyperbolic this may sound, after watching literally hundreds of Zion videos over the past few months, I am ready to declare you the master. The combination of your camera work, excellent, and your commentary, equally intelligent, why could we not have come across your channel six months ago. Keep at it HG, there are thousands benefitting from your work. No doubt a year from now it will be a million.

@ludypangtay1632 Год назад

One of the best videos I've watched. Thank you for putting so much details and explanation. Very useful.

@manosdeperro Год назад

Thank you for all your videos, all awesome.

@zunaebwahid185 Год назад

I don’t usually use this much. I mostly just view. But man this is fantastic. Thank you for doing this. You’re making me more excited to do some of these hikes I have planned. Keep it up!

@Hikingguy Год назад

Thank you!!

@deusfiatlux5160 Год назад

Beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing.

@nebulight Год назад

I’m both happy and sad that it requires a permit. I’ve been going to Zion for the last 11 years. First trip we had and empty first bus and maybe a handful of people on the trail to angels landing. Last trip before the permit it was way too crowded on the chains so I for sure see the need for it. Super happy to see more people on the trails but on these super popular trails the crowds become too much.

@Hikingguy Год назад

Yea, the crowds are the whole reason why I don't even really want to do Angel's Landing anymore. I might make a guide in the future but if I do, I'll probably bike to the trailhead before the shuttle leaves, assuming I can get a permit that is...

@TheBombaytube 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the great detailed video! It’s very helpful 😊

@yvonnesmith8245 Год назад

Thanks so much! Well done! Love your beautiful videos!❤️🦌

@sweeper0120 Год назад

Thank you for making these videos...and especially for the 3-D map imaging. They really are a huge help in deciding which trails are right for me, so I can make the most of my road trip next month. Excellent work!!!

@Hikingguy Год назад

Thank you!!

@geraner Год назад

Such awesome views! Thanks for sharing that video with us! Need to go there the next time I’m in the US!

Thanks for explaining this trail, I like how you get straight to the point

@cosmocat12 11 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed your video. I visited Zion NP( from Australia) IN April. The waterfalls were amazing. I was very happy to make it to Refrigerator canyon. That was far enough for me, and I was proud to get that far. It's a very special place.

@bazen8446 4 месяца назад

Thanks, your information is absolutely valuable ! for senior Hikers.

@rayross997 9 месяцев назад

That was awesome. Thanks for doing such a great video. Hope to get there in the not too distant future.

@josephjameson6044 Год назад

Excellent information... as always. Breathtaking views and a better understanding of Angels Landing. The 3D map is a must-watch.

@albertrodriguez5537 6 месяцев назад

@isabelpintado9535 Год назад

Wow!!!!this is amazing greattttt information he is GREAT!

@user-gq9un5lz7h 2 месяца назад

well explained. Like the vlog.

@msujdog Год назад

This was a helpful review - seeing the trail first hand made me realize my kids probably couldn't make it. Also, it makes ME want to go hike it really badly!

@Brian.H.. 11 месяцев назад

Great video better than any other I have found. Did you ever do the chain section of angels landing? Trying to decide if I can get a permit will we go up to the top. If not will hopping to do a few in the area. We over next may from Ireland visiting Zion, Bryce, south and west rim of the Grand Canyon for the first time. 🇮🇪

@Hikingguy 11 месяцев назад

I've done it but have yet to make a guide. This is the hike to do if you can't get a permit.

@gilbertceballos8674 Год назад

I'm going at the end of May i am scared of heights, and this looks terrifying. 😳 😄

@Hikingguy Год назад

The only real part that could be scary is the very end, and even then, you can enjoy the views by standing away from the edge. You should be okay

@leonfisher Год назад

Wow!

@user-qu7fs2sj9i 4 месяца назад

Hi Cris! Informative video as always. I am planning a trip to Zion in October. Just curious, what are your thoughts on the Angel's Landing (chain) portion of the hike? Have you gone up it? If so, how would you compare it to Half Dome? Have you gone up the West Rim Trail past Scout's Lookout? If so, how are the views? Thank you. BTW....where ia your next big adventure taking you?

@Hikingguy 4 месяца назад

I have done Angel's Landing, def easier / less freaky than Half Dome in my opinion, will get a guide up for it this year hopefully - West Rim higher is nice but same idea as Scout Lookout && Heading back to Grand Canyon tomorrow!

@djrzoul1820 11 дней назад

Hi Thx for the vidéo Is there water at the start or at the scoot point? Thx

@kennethgordon9837 Год назад

@tammyvig8253 3 месяца назад

Just wondering how much of the hike is along that one part that is a wide path with steep drop off. I'm not sure I can do it as it looked scary to me.

@tammyvig8253 3 месяца назад

at 3:19 minutes

@Hikingguy 3 месяца назад

It's all wide path until you get to the end, and you can stay as far away from the edge as you'd like. No sketchy areas on the trail on this hike.

@LC444 Год назад

Can you hop onto somebody else's permit (who turned around at Scout Lookout) to hike to the Angel's Landing summit.

@Hikingguy Год назад

They check ID with the permit so prob not

@isabelpintado9535 Год назад

Hi!! Permit for angel? Please help me how works with Parking too

@Hikingguy Год назад

Yes, recreation.gov for permit - park at the visitor center and shuttle bus up here

@bhoey27 13 дней назад

@williamfarrar899 4 месяца назад

Just want to reconfirm, NO permit needed to Scout’s Lookout?

@Hikingguy 4 месяца назад

Not this way

@rayray4192 8 месяцев назад

Very nice job as everyone is saying. The 3-D is amazing. Angel’s Landing looks like a knife edge. Who thought it would be a good hike in a National Park? Is Angel’s dangerous? The only person I know who has done the hike told me it’s like flying an airplane. If you are mindful it’s not dangerous. Do you agree? The videos I’ve watched make the trail look challenging if not dangerous. What say you?

@rayray4192 8 месяцев назад

Does the Ranger checking Angel’s Landing permits give you a wristband? I didn’t see a checkpoint at the start of Angel’s Landing, or perhaps the start was not shown
