I’m unquestionably adventurous, but I’m not necessarily a thrillseeker or what you’d call an adrenaline junkie. I love hiking and snorkeling, and floating the Snake River<\/a><\/strong> in the Tetons was one of my all-time favorite experiences \u2014 but you’re not likely to catch me, say, skydiving.<\/p>\n

That’s precisely why hiking Angels Landing in Zion National Park (or any other most dangerous hikes in the world, for that matter) was never on my bucket list. Until recently, that is.<\/p>\n

After winning a highly-coveted permit to The Wave in Arizona<\/a><\/strong> (for a second<\/em> time!), we made a longer trip out of it and added extra days in both Bryce Canyon and Zion. Side note: how cool is it that Utah’s “Mighty Five” national parks<\/a><\/strong> are all within easy driving distance of one another?!<\/p>\n

Although we’d been to both Zion and Bryce several times, a few of those were during early coronavirus lockdowns. Many popular trails were closed, including Angels Landing.<\/p>\n

Looking back, perhaps that’s exactly why I became so intrigued by the idea of hiking Angels Landing Zion \u2014 that whole wanting-what-you-can’t-have sort of thing. After visiting a few times and not being able to do it, I became bound and determined.<\/p>\n

Never mind that Angels Landing has a reputation for being one of the most dangerous hikes in the world. Oh, and it was January<\/span>. We would be taking on Angels Landing in winter. Gulp<\/em>.<\/p>\n
