13 Best Hikes in North America

11. Angel’s Landing
Angel’s Landing, which is located in Zion National Park in Utah, is not for the faint of heart. It might be one of the shortest hikes we have on this list, but it’s known around the world for its absolutely heart-stopping finale.
The first five miles are pretty tiring – lots of switchbacks – but the final half-mile is what makes people shake in their hiking boots. To get up to the top, you have to climb up a ridge clinging to a chain, looking out over a sheer drop that’s almost 1,000 feet. Once you’ve arrived though, you’ll enjoy a view like no other.
