About this episode
Think you’re brave enough for Angel’s Landing? 🏞️ In this episode, I’m taking you to the heart of Zion National Park to hike one of the most famous — and most intimidating — trails in the U.S. We’ll talk about:
✨ What it’s really like to climb the steep switchbacks and chain section (spoiler: my palms were sweating).✨ How the permit lottery system works and what you need to know before you go.✨ Why this hike is equal parts terrifying and unforgettable — and why it deserves a spot on your bucket list.
Whether you’re planning your own Zion adventure or just want to live vicariously through my shaky knees, you won’t want to miss this one.
