Angel’s Landing

If you’re staying at the lodge, leave early before the shuttles start ( in the dark) and walk on the roadside path (less than a mile) up to the next shuttle stop. You’ll get the lower (safe) portion out of the way as the sun comes up and beat the crowds. We made it to the top, rested and took in the views, and made it past the chains on the way down before the first big groups came up. Best concierge tip I ever got.

My favorite park, have been there 5 times. A hiker's paradise.

Biking is pretty cool as well! On my 3 day loop around and through Glacier

No dangerous animal concern while hiking there?**

Had a black bear pass
VTNateRx • 08/17/23 12:59 PM ET
When we were there in 2019 black bears were everywhere.
