Taken just after reaching the enormously strenuous Angels Landing hike. I composed a panorama stitch shot looking north from the base before the final scramble. We learned from park rangers that the weekend we chose to visit the was the busiest weekend in the parks usual history. So there was a queue of impatient hikers to scramble up the top of the angels landing and since it was raining during the entire hike we decided to forego the final scramble to the top of the angel's landing itself. Now I have got an excuse to come back again .

Thanks for visiting, hope you all like the image.

Recently I got a survey request from National Parks Conservation Association regarding the importance of conserving our National parks and other natural resources. The survey mentioned that they are fast running out of money in protecting these amazing landmarks.

I recently had an opportunity to visit Zion National Park, on one of the busiest days in the history of the park, and it was wonderful to see so many people enjoy this wonderful place. In fact the Angel's Landing trek, considered by many as one of the top hikes in America was full of people. I hope they raise enough money through whatever means so that these amazing places will be protected and maintained for future generations to enjoy.
