While you don't have to get close to the edge, the exposure could be intimidating to some...

Looking down the head of Behunin Canyon.

Descending down the roof of the world, the main canyon becomes more visible far below.

Scout's Lookout marks the junction of the Angels Landing spur trail. If you have a spare one to two hours and can handle the exposure, do this hike!

Continuing down the West Rim Trail is Walter's Wiggles, the clever set of switchbacks that take down a seemingly impossible ridge.

Dayhikers zigzagging their way through Refrigerator Canyon.

Coming out into the wide open main canyon.

A final set of zig-zags in the trail take us down to ground level.

This stretch of trail ends at the Grotto Trailhead. Walk the valley floor road north a mile to pick up the East Rim Trail at the Weeping Rock Trailhead.
