A 50mm Life

Continuing our Zion National Park weekend, one of our days we decided that we’d challenge Angels Landing - a hike which takes a lot of guts to complete. Angels Landing is a 5 mile hike which presents gorgeous views and dizzying drop-offs as you gain about 1488 feet of elevation and walk some portions along a 1200 foot sheer cliff.

Pictured here is another view of Zion Canyon - imagine this area all underwater, and then millions of years later, this green area below a lake bed. After the lake drained out, the Virgin River carved out the canyon which we see now. As part of the Grand Staircase of sedimentary rock, the oldest layer of Zion Canyon is the newest layer of rock in the Grand Canyon. Wow! What a progression!
