Angels Landing in Winter, Zion National Park, UT
(Angels Landing)
Brandt Hart from Bluff was visiting the Zion area, and looking to get out and enjoy the sunshine (what there was of it). We thought Angels Landing might be adventurous in a small way, suitable for a days outing…
Here’s a bit of the Great White Flush, kinda an abstract.

Not much snow on Walter’s Wiggle, but once we got to the top of the ridge, there was a pretty solid couple-a-inches.

We had instep crampons, which were just enough to get the job done. We made good use of the chains all day. Photo: Brandt

There were a couple interesting gaps between chains, which I had never really noticed in summer!!! photo: Brandt

Next day, snowed about 12″ in Mount Carmel. Here’s my little house feeling rather cozy.
