The next day of the hiking at Angels Landing, I hiked Riverside Walk the Narrows. After Riverside Walk hiking, I heard the shut down of the Angels Landing for maintenance. Today, NPS announced they operated "search and rescue", means somebody fell down from the Angels Landing.
등반 다음날 더 내로우 리버웍 하이킹을 하고 돌아오는길에 앤젤스 랜딩을 폐쇄하고 맨인터넌스한다고 등반을 봉쇄했다. Search and Rescue 라고 하니 누구하나 떨어졌다.

Angels Landing
.
Angels Landing in Zion National Park is one of the most spectacular day hikes in the world. The trail to its lofty summit was hewn out of its steep, rock-solid spine in 1926 and it continues to thrill hikers to this day. The hike climbs up roughly 1,500 vertical feet along the narrow fin of stone that reaches a top elevation of 5,790 feet. A chain railing adds an element of safety, but if exposed heights make you weak in the knees, it will take a double-dose of courage to make the summit. This is one adventure that packs a mountain of excitement into a relatively compact, daring hike. Find hiking details and permit information below.
.
Angels Landing, known previously as the Temple of Aeolus, is a 1,488-foot (454 m) tall rock formation 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.
.
The trail to Angels Landing is 2.5 miles (4.0 km) long with an approximate 1,500 feet (460 m) elevation gain. The hike is rated as a class 3 difficulty based on the Yosemite Decimal System. It begins at the Grotto drop off point on the park's shuttle system, which operates from early spring through late fall. It roughly follows the path of the Virgin River for some time along the West Rim Trail, slowly gaining elevation in sandy terrain. Most of the trail is uphill on the way up to Angels Landing. As the trail gets steeper and leaves behind the river, it becomes paved. After a series of steep switchbacks, the trail goes through the area between Angels Landing and the Zion Canyon that is a gradual ascent. Walter's Wiggles, a series of 21 steep switchbacks, are the last hurdle before Scout Lookout. The wiggles are named after Walter Ruesch, who was the first superintendent for Zion National Park and constructed the switchbacks in 1926.

Scout Lookout is generally the turnaround point for those who are unwilling to make the final summit push to the top of #Angels_Landing . The last half-mile of the trail is strenuous and lined with numerous sharp drop offs and narrow paths. Chains to grip are provided for portions of the last half-mile to the top at 5,790 feet (1,760 m). 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. As of March 15, 2021, 13 people have died from falling while hiking the trail. In July 2018, the trail was closed following damage due to a severe storm and was re-opened in September 2018.
.
Beginning in 2022, hikers will be required to have a permit. #Zion_National_Park wants to improve visitor experiences, protect the park and increase the safety of the hike. One of the main reasons is that the route has been overcrowded in recent years. In addition to a day-before lottery, there will be a quarterly seasonal lottery for which people can register.
.
In response to concerns about crowding and congestion on the trail, on and after April 1, 2022, everyone who hikes Angels Landing needs to have a permit. The pilot permit program reflects lessons learned when we metered the number of hikers on the trail in 2019 and 2021 and by distributing tickets to use the park shuttle system in response to COVID-19 in 2020.

Explore this 4.4-mile out-and-back trail near #Springdale , Utah. Generally considered a challenging route, it takes an average of 2 h 57 min to complete. This is a very popular area for hiking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are February through October. You'll need to leave pups at home — dogs aren't allowed on this trail.
