Angel's Landing

On one of my recent trips, I had the opportunity to hike to Angel's Landing, a most impressive temple of rock in Zion National Park. Gaining some 1500 ft of elevation from the valley floor to the peak, it was truly one of the most visually stunning hikes I've ever done, most notably for the sharp, contrasting colors of the stone, sky, shadows, and flora. An added bonus, on the descent we rounded a corner and came up on a California Condor perched on a rock, not more than an arm's reach away. I will let the photos speak for themselves...
