On the way up and down, you pass by Angel's Landing.
These steep 'ledges' really aren't that narrow, but if the trail were a sheet of ice, it would be treacherous!

West Rim of Snow (Dec 2007)
Zion's West Rim trail is one of my favorites, especially when there is fresh snow up high! This 12 mile round-trip hike climbs from the floor of the canyon 3,000' up to the rim. This hike is hard enough without having to posthole through a foot of snow along semi-narrow ledges...in shorts no less!
