In order to book an Angels landing tour with Zion Guru you must obtain a permit!

As shown in the map below a permit is only required if you want to hike the “chain section” of the Angels Landing. You do not need a permit to hike up the west rim trail towards Scout Lookout. The view from the top of the chain section (Angels Landing) is unparalleled however you can see some exceptional views from the west rim trail above scout lookout as an alternative.
