This is looking down on The Organ and the Virgin river from the Angel's Landing top ridge. It was cropped from a full spherical rendered projection. This was taken about 11 in the morning.

This is a view from the Hidden Canyon trail looking at The Organ with Angel's Landing in the background. Though it doesn't show on this small version, there are hikers on the top of Angel's Landing. This was about 4:30 in the afternoon.

Thanks for looking. C&C welcome.

Fabulous! I had just one day in Zion last month and was only able to stand in the canyon itself and stare open-mouthed at the towering peaks around me. I did the Emerald Pools trail but now I wish I had done one of the more challenging trails such as you've shown here. A great view!

That's a very impressive place, and the road gives an idea of just how large it is.

Man, I'd love to see the full version!
That's a great shot for sure.

The full spherical 360 pano is a QTVR. If you are interested, pm your email addy and I'll send the file. It is about 5Mb and you need the Apple Quicktime player to view the movie.

Great shots, thanks, Jeff. I did Hidden Canyon a month or two ago and haven't done Angels in a few years.The views from both are spectacular.

I really love the one from Angel's Landing! I guess I have to get my butt up there this Fall. Did you carry the 5D out there? When I did Hidden Canyon I just slung mine over my shoulder but Angels is a little longer hike.

Thanks Win. The pics were taken with the 20mm on the 5D. I carry 25-30 pounds of gear for the day, that inlcudes camera gear, water, snacks, and such. Angels Landing is only 70 minutes from the Grotto if your serious ;) . I was up there 3 days before when it was cloudy, and even though I got some nice pictures then I wanted some from a sunny day.

Nice photos indeed of an impressive place but needs some post processing to bring out the highlights while boosting the contrast some.

Great scenes you've captured, Jeff. I've never done Angel's Landing (despite six visits to Zion) and now probably never will. Just too tough for these old legs. Thanks for showing me the view from there.

Dimitri and Bluedog,

How do you like this.

After you have commented, I'll say something. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks everyone.

Stan, you made it to the Wave in Coyote Buttes. You could make it up Angel's Landing if you don't suffer from vertigo. If you decide you don't want to do it, the hike to Observation Point is a close second. The hike isn't as "entertaining", but the view is spectacular. I'm working on those pictures.

It looks a bit better Jeff, but there is a halo around the skyline. I took the photo you originally posted and just used auto-levels on half of it. What do you think about the difference?
