There are several trails in the park that take you up to cliff tops for great views, but Angel's landing is actually one of the most accessible. But of all those views, this is the only one that gives you more than a 180 degree view.


This is a full 360 degrees. The stitching isn't that great due to the light levels, but it gives you an idea of what it looks like. Yes, you can click it. The ends of the photo are looking back west across the ridge along the top of Angel's Landing.






Click to embiggen. I left this big so you can see the upper end of Zion Canyon. The buses at the bottom are where the road ends and the shuttles turn around. There is a mile-long trail from there up the canyon. The trail is paved and only somewhat hilly. It ends where The Narrows starts. Just above the red sandstone is a relatively flat area in the gray stone. This is about a thousand feet above the canyon floor. The Narrows was closed due to high water, but where it started (and where the trail ended), the canyon was less than fifty feet wide. You see there are canyons that go farther back in. These canyons don't get much higher, in the bottom, but the cliffs get much higher around them. From the bottom of The Narrows to the tops of the higher peaks is about two thousand feet.
