ZION NATIONAL PARK

For a more devilish trail , head to Angel ’ s

Landing in the Zion National Park , located in Utah .

One of the best places for leisure hiking is Cascade Mountain , located in Keene , New York . Part of the Adirondacks , Cascade Mountain is named for the beautiful waterfalls at its bottom . It is one of the easier mountains to scale , and you can reach the summit in several hours with bags and small children , so if you are hiking alone or without children , your time will be fairly modest . You will definitely want to bring your camera along for the hike , because the views up the mountain are incredible . Overall , the hike is about 4 miles , and every moment will be well worth it to capture that once-in-a-lifetime photo .
For a more devilish trail , head to Angel ’ s Landing in the Zion National Park , located in Utah . Here , you ’ ll scramble over large divots , up steep cliffs , down slippery rocks and over small , heart-pumping ledges . Any hiker who looks for the thrill should stop here and give this trail a try . Bring equipment and safety precautions , as it is considered to be a more dangerous hike .
