Zion National Park

My friends, family, and I challenged the Angels Landing trail in Zion National Park. We've only seen pictures and youtube videos about the most common fears for hikers committing to this hike. After hitting several milestones on the hike, and crossing paths with other hikers who made it all the way and hikers who decided to turn around and cut their adventure short, we decided to keep pushing to push forward and face our fear head-on. As for me, I was nervous that someone was going to get hurt or killed. Additionally, I am afraid of heights. With my fear of heights, I brought my DSLR and wide-angle lens to document this trek. I wanted to capture my perspective and highlight the narrow paths where a wrong step can lead to something terrible. Also, I like the viewers to see this image and give them chills when they see the edges and the lack of chain support in particular parts of the trail. We used the natural textures of the rocky path to help maintain stability.

We survived and took a million Selfies to solidify our proof of unlocking this "Bucket" list activity. Upon returning to the base of the trail, we were all dehydrated and felt like we went hardcore doing "leg" day at the gym as we walked as if our legs were made of jelly.
