Next stop: Zion Canyon National Park, impressive cliffs! The rightmost top of the peak in the picture is called "Angels Landing". After noticing the following in the trail description there was no option... had to do it...

"At the trail junction proceed right (south). There is still another 0.5 mile and 500 ft of climb to the top of Angels Landing. The trail is now much steeper and more rugged, and involves scrambling and climbing up the cliff. In places the trail is extremely narrow, with sheer drops on each side. At one point a narrow ledge takes you across a 1500 ft vertical drop to the canyon floor. Although chains have been fixed for safety, it is not suitable if you are afraid of heights."
