I remember the first time I saw Angels Landing I was exactly the Same, just wow! 

Angels is a funny one as despite the time needed it’s not a very long hike in terms of distance, “only” 5.4 miles. 

Most people could hike that in well under 2 hours, Angels is tough because of the large amount of uphill and the seriously rough terrain. The las Push takes as much effort from the upper body as it does the legs as you pull yourself up the chains! 

But regular Hikers could probably tackle it straight out the gate, with just a good amount of overexertion. Less frequent Hikers would probably need to work up over a few weeks. Taking in some good offroad routes and some steep hills. 

The good thing about angels landing is you are not committed to doing the whole thing. Once you get to Scouts lookout you can always call it a day and from there if the climb has all but killed you it’s all downhill on the way back! 

Hope you make is one day, this is probably the most rewarding hike we have ever done! and Zion is just breathtaking in general! 

And man, just look at Angel’s Landing, amazing trail if any but 4-5 hours is something I’ve never before. My longest hike was 2 hours and even that got me way to beat to even drive back home haha. I’d definitely need to improve my stamina to able to withstand Angel’s Landing! How long would you think average hikers would need to train before trying to take on Angel’s Landing?
