Angel’s Landing GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

A really popular hike to a gorgeous overlook of Virgin River Canyon. The ascent up the West Rim Trail to the start of the Angel's Landing Trail is mostly paved and passes through Refrigerator Canyon and up Walter's Wiggles before reaching the location labeled Sscout Lookout, where you see the hump leading to the summit. The Class 3 scramble is made easier by chainlink fence that stretches the whole way up. Be prepared to move slowly – there are lots of scared people taking their time on this hike.
