In 1916 when he first saw this incredible landmark, Frederick Fisher believed that only an angel could land on its summit. Thanks to the efforts of the NPS, we mere mortals can also enjoy the view from the top. Angels Landing boasts a number of beautiful vistas, but getting there can be a little tricky. The final portions of the trail are narrow and exposed, although the park does provide a chain that you can hold onto. If you're afraid of heights, or otherwise unable to make it to the top, you can always stop at Scouts Lookout and enjoy the view from there.
