Angel's Landing, part 2

SPRINGDALE, UT - - PLEASE READ THE BLOG BELOW FIRST AS THIS IS PART #2....Anyway, when you pass the first set of chains you come to the lookout - - a stepping-off point for those with brave hearts and limber limbs making the final ascent. It's a rest area for others and known as "Chicken Out Point" as one look at the rest of the climb up to the top puts pause to those with thoughts of tall tales but no lack of fear to back up the point. I stayed at C.O.P. which has a fine sight line to the shuttle stop on the valley floor some 1,000' below. Lydia went on to the summit and is in the photo below ... a blue dot about midway in the pic. The shot captures only a small portion of the true climb. Maybe next time.
