On the other hand, it is not recommended for everyone. Indeed, this fairly sporty walk is technical in certain sections, especially in the last 800 meters where you find yourself on a very steep ridge overlooking a ravine. It is still possible to stop before this last part. If you plan to go all the way, leave early to enjoy the view before the canyon falls into shadow.

It is the most famous in the park as it offers a fabulous 360° view of the valley and the Virgin River.

Angel’s Landing is an extremely popular hike. During peak season, hiker traffic jams form, especially during the final ascent to Angel’s Landing (in some sections, it is not possible to pass side by side, so you must wait before you can proceed). A PERMIT SYSTEM has been put in place since April 2022. Without this permit, you will not be able to access the final ascent of the hike, from The Chains to the summit of Angel’s Landing. However, access remains free to reach Scout Lookout. Permits are allocated online through a lottery system: seasonal lotteries, which open several months before the planned hiking dates, or day-before lotteries that allow you to obtain a permit for the next day. To enter the lottery, go to the Recreation.gov website. If you obtain a permit, you will need to start your hike within the time slot indicated on your permit.
