"Temple of Aeolus" is now better known as Angels Landing (elevation
5,990 feet). Today, a fairly strenuous hike to the top of the monolith involves
climbing a "chain trail," but the views from the top are some
of the most spectacular in the park. Angels Landing is located about a mile
north of Zion Lodge on the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive. |
