Description
Walter's Wiggles - Zion National Park - Utah
Walter's Wiggles is a series of 21 short, steep switchbacks on the Angels Landing Trail in Zion National Park, Utah, USA. The trail is named after Walter Ruesch, the first superintendent of Zion National Park, who oversaw the construction of this portion of the trail in the 1920s.
Walter's Wiggles are a distinctive feature of the Angels Landing Trail, which is known for its breathtaking and sometimes challenging ascent to Angels Landing itself. These switchbacks were built to help hikers gain elevation rapidly while ascending the steep cliffs of Zion Canyon.

Gary, I have been up and down this many times....snow makes it interesting....this brought back many fond memories! Angel's landing has to be one of the best short hikes in the World!....My love for Zion has inspired me to capture my favorite spots on canvas! F/L JERRY

Winter is one time of year I have never ventured to Zion. I need to time it perfectly because snow doesn't hang around very long down there.
