Angels Landing, known previously as the Temple of Aeolus, is a 1,488-foot (454 m) tall rock formation[2] in Zion National Park in southwestern Utah, United States.
A renowned trail cut into solid rock in 1926 leads to the top of Angels Landing and provides panoramic views of Zion Canyon.
[5] Scout Lookout is generally the turnaround point for those who are unwilling to make the final summit push to the top of Angels Landing.
[7] The half-mile section up the spine, the Angels Landing Trail-West Rim Trail, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
[11] This permit program was instituted due to overcrowding in prior years and is intended to improve visitor experiences, protect the park, and increase the safety of the hike.
