Wow. I don't know if I could do that. It's beautiful but looks scary.

Brooke said...

It is really beautiful. I don't think I'd want to hike to the top. I'm too afraid of heights!

Annette Lyon said...

Gorgeous. I need to go back to Zions. Haven't been there since 94. I forgot how pretty it is.

Devri said...

It is beautiful, I haven't been there since I was single.. (a long time)

Me (aka Danielle) said...

What a magnificent view. One place I need to add to my "need to see" list. I have yet to make it to Zion. Crazy, I know!

Shellie said...

my aunt once was taken here on a date and the guy never told her what a freaky hike it was. she had to crawl down on her hands and knees she was so scared!

Strawberry Shortcake said...

I think I would pass out and fall off. That is amazing!

Christa said...

Simply amazing. (That's my attempt at giving an almost wordless response.)

Jen said...

Yay! I'm so glad that Christian got to spend his birthday with his brother. Angels Landing is equal parts stunning and terrifying.

Barbaloot said...

Okay--just looking at that freaks me out. I don't think I could ever hike it.

Fiauna said...

I love Angels Landing. We are headed to Zion National Park in two weeks. I wish we could find a sitter so we could hike. (I don't think Angels Landing is really appropriate for small children. You know what I mean?)

that hike is insane. so i've heard.

Kristina P. said...

What an amazing accomplishment!

Leslie said...

That is a great hike! Paulo amazed me by doing it with my dad when we went to Zions last year. (Paulo is terrified of heights, so you can see why I would be amazed.)

Kimberly Vanderhorst said...

Wow...what a sight! And what a great name for it!

Anonymous said...

Wow, that really is beautiful, and I really couldn't do it.

Romney Family said...

That is a beautiful picture!!

Kathy P said...

I hope he didn't start from the bottom because that would make me very tired just thinking about it...

Great photo!

Loralee and the gang... said...

Beautiful!
:~D

Becca said...

My 9 year old son is DYING to hike this...seeing the picture freaks me out about it even more! But it is beautiful..and way to go Christian.

I've seen your pic on the comments page of some of my favorite blogs, and today I happened on your link on Mormon Mommy Blogs so I decided to check you out if that's okay. (Woo!Long sentence!)

My husband and son are on a road trip and just left Zion's. It's such an awesome place! I'm not sure they hiked that high though:-)

LisAway said...

That picture literally took my breath away. (not in some poetical or metaphoric way). WOW.

Jessie said...

My favorite hike at Zion - also, my arch nemesis.

Heather of the EO said...

You can climb that? WOW. Impressive.

Kate said...

We hiked that too. It was gorgeous, kind of scary but worth it. Great picture.

Lee said...

I wish I didn't have a fear of heights.
Then I could get beautiful pictures like that.
Instead I would just be hyperventilating.

Jessica G. said...

That's where my husband was going to propose... on Valentine's Day! Wouldn't that have been awesome?? Instead, he didn't get the ring in time so he didn't do anything. Not awesome.

lynsie said...

Been there when I was 13. Climbed to the top. It was amazing. I will never forget it.

Sher said...

What a gorgeous picture! I hiked up Angel's landing once in college. I remember being terrified (because I hate heights) and thinking it was one of the most beautiful views I'd ever seen.

Jen said...

Are you kidding me? That is freaking high!!! Kudos to Christian for completing such an incredible hike! It sure looks beautiful!

Unknown said...

That hike is terrifying! I'm much more comfortable at the Emerald Pools and Weeping Rock! Have you ever heard the stats of deaths for that Angel's Landing? It surprised me (but I can't rememebr exactly, so I don't dare say) but people die there! That is enough to freak me out!

susette said...

Uh... that is making my toes tingle. Yikes!!

nikkicrumpet said...

YIKES...I would have had a heart attack if I had known my kid was doing that. I love Zion's it's one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
