Angel's Landing is one of the most popular hikes in Zion National Park. It's also one of the most dangerous. This episode tells some of the stories of those who have fallen. At the end of the day, they are just like you or I or anyone else. Their stories allow us to remember them, learn from them and appreciate the wonder that they no doubt also had for Zion National Park.
