Im thinking about going to Zion to do the Angel's Landing trail whilst in the Vegas area this summer...

Anyone been there, done that?

Advice?

Talk me out of it?

It's a great hike so you have to do it. October/November is better than summer for avoiding heat and massive crowds. Still busy in October but not too bad. Till end of October you must use a free shuttle bus to the trailheads. After that you can drive to the trailheads.

Last year I went there in December and had to deal with snow but I like that to some extent. Very light crowding then.

Piece-o-cake. We timed our hike to be there at sunset and hiked down in the dark...of course we were off the exposed part before dark but did the rest with headlamps.

It is a great hike -- there is some exposure on the last section so just be prepared for it. Nothing major but something that makes you be a tad bid more careful!

Just don't format your camera card after shooting a great sunset and an awesome hike!!! Confused

Dunno if I will ever forget that prime piece of stupidity!
