West Rim Spring

On the same day we did Angels Landing, we ventured out on the West Rim Trail to Cabin Spring.  This trail is epic.  We started out from Scout's Lookout at the base of Angels Landing.  After a brief uphill slog, the trail opened up into Telephone Canyon surrounded by white and red cliffs and cascading waterfalls.  It was just beautiful.  After a few hours, the trail comes to a horseshoe and seems to disappear, only to continue to the ridge on a path literally chiseled out of the cliff face.  It was amazing.
