Hi, I'm Evan Carr.

I'm the creator of this guide, but more importantly, I'm a hiker. I've been fortunate enough to explore trails all over North America, from coastal paths to rugged mountain peaks. My real passion, however, lies with our National Parks. I am an avid National Parks enthusiast and have visited 24 of them so far, with a lifelong goal to experience every single one.

Why Angels Landing?

Out of all the trails I've hiked, Angels Landing holds a special place in my heart—it is my favorite hike. I hiked this myself, and I'll never forget the feeling of stepping onto that narrow spine, pulling myself up by the chains, and finally reaching the summit to see that incredible 360-degree view of Zion Canyon. It's a unique combination of physical challenge, mental focus, and breathtaking reward.

That experience inspired me to create this site. I wanted to build a comprehensive, no-nonsense resource that gives fellow hikers the information and confidence they need to tackle this adventure safely and respectfully.

The Mission of This Site

My goal here is simple: to provide the most accurate, practical, and up-to-date information for your Angels Landing hike. I believe that with the right preparation, anyone with a good level of fitness and a healthy dose of courage can have an unforgettable experience.

The shirt in our store isn't just merchandise; it's a badge of honor. It's something I wanted for myself after my climb, and I created it for everyone who feels that same sense of accomplishment standing on the summit.


Thanks for stopping by. I hope this guide helps you plan an amazing adventure. See you on the trails!
