Walter's Wiggles

Today we hiked two miles and about 1,600 vertical feet to get to Scout's Lookout. Scout's Lookout is the point right before the scary 0.5 mile hike to Angel's Landing. We hiked through some switch backs before we got to Refrigerator Canyon, a canyon that only gets about one hour of direct sunlight a day. This makes it cooler than the rest of the park. Then we got to Walter's Wiggles. Walter's Wiggles is a series of 21 short, steep switchbacks pictured above. It is considered a feat of engineering. Right after that you reach Scout's Lookout. It has an excellent view of the canyon and many signs warning you about how dangerous the rest of the hike is. Fortunately we did not do that part. It includes scrambling up rocks and walking 3 feet wide pathways with huge drop-offs. I wouldn't do it even if you paid me.
