Along this 5.4 mile round-trip hike, you will gain 1,488 feet in elevation and get great views of Zion Canyon. Most hikers take around 4 hours to complete the hike, but some take longer. Check the shuttle schedule before you leave to make sure you do not miss the last shuttle.

Description

Angels Landing Pilot Permit Program

In response to concerns about crowding and congestion on the trail, on and after April 1, 2022, everyone who hikes Angels Landing needs to have a permit. The pilot permit program reflects lessons learned when we metered the number of hikers on the trail in 2019 and 2021 and by distributing tickets to use the park shuttle system in response to COVID-19 in 2020.

About Angels Landing

Angels Landing is one of the most popular destinations in Zion National Park. Many who go there want to experience untamed adventure and get a classic photograph. Its' now famous name descends from Methodist minister Frederick Vining Fisher who, on his first visit to Zion Canyon in 1916 allegedly quipped only an angel could land there.

The hike is strenuous, and your safety is your responsibility. We have some tips to help reduce the risks you take and ensure you have an enjoyable hike.
