Our first day, no messing around, we decided to do one of the longer and more difficult hikes in the park. It's also one of the most popular, The Angels Landing Trail.

After the Angels Landing hike, we went on a shorter hike, to the Weeping Rock.

Photo #3... There's always a nice view behind you as you climb.
Photo #4... Switchbacks... lots of them.
Photo #5... The final climb to Angels Landing. We were pretty tired at this point, and after a fairly technical and tough climbing section to reach this point, we decided to stop here. The trail to the end looked pretty technical, there's one spot that is 3 feet wide, with an 800 foot drop on one side, and a 1200 foot drop on the other side.
