Angels Landing is without a doubt one of the most iconic hikes in Southern Utah. The trail takes hikers up a seemingly endless series of switchbacks before climbing up a cliff with chains drilled into the rock to help keep hikers safe.

Permits are required to hike Angels Landing and can be obtained two ways. You can enter the seasonal lottery on rec.gov, or you can score a last-minute permit the day before your hike by submitting an application between 12:00 am-3:00 pm MST.

If you’re unable to secure permits to hike Angel’s Landing you can still hike up to Scout’s Lookout for breathtaking views of Zion Canyon. You can also continue hiking from Scout’s Lookout along the East Rim Trail if you want a longer hike, but the best views are at the lookout.

Another way to hike Angels Landing if you’re unable to get your own permit is to hire a permitted guide:
