Stunning footage captured by an adventure-seeking couple shows the breathtaking views of Utah’s picturesque but perilous Zion National Park.
Justin McFarland and his wife Niari Baton-McFarland hiked across Angels Landing on June 8 together. They shared the video of them hiking the trail faced with sheer drops and jagged rocks where one misstep could prove fatal.
Considered by some to be the scariest hike in America, the Angels Landing trail winds over uneven rock and has sheer drops of over 1000 feet on either side.

The incredible footage shows the two walking along the sandstone ridges surrounded by beautiful rugged scenery as they climb past other hikers on the narrow, rugged terrain.
More than 100 feet up, the pair navigate the twisting, uneven terrain together, stopping to sit down and admire the views before continuing on their epic journey across the canyon.
Trail is just one in the region dating back more than 270 million years. The views of Zion Canyon’s 270 million-year-old rock layers go back to the Triassic period when this section of the Colorado Plateau was sea basin level.

With just a chain safety fence bolted onto the cliff to hold on to, the red sandstone hike can be extremely dangerous and claimed the life of a 35-year-old hiker in April this year.
While a 13-year-old girl died when she fell from the trail in February 2018. And a 45-year-old man died after a suspected fall from the trail in March 2017.
