00:00South Guardian Angel is a mountain peak that rises 7,140 feet, 2,180 meters high.

00:09It is found in Zion National Park located in Washington County, southwest Utah, United

00:15States.

00:16The mountain is made of white Navajo sandstone and stands about 8 miles northwest of the

00:22town of Springdale, Utah.

00:24Its closest higher neighbor is North Guardian Angel, which is only about 1.4 miles away.

00:30Between the two peaks lies the subway, a small but famous slot canyon known for its unique

00:36shape.

00:37The name South Guardian Angel was officially recognized in 1934 by the United States Board

00:42on Geographic Names.

00:44Water from rain and melting snow on this peak flows into North Creek, which later joins the

00:49Virgin River.

00:50The best time to visit are in spring and fall, when the weather is pleasant.

00:55The area has a cold, semi-arid climate, which means winters are chilly, with average temperature

01:01below 32 Fahrenheit in the coldest month.

01:04Most of the yearly rain comes during spring and summer, but overall the region gets less

01:09than 10 inches of the rainfall a year.

01:12Snowfall in winter is usually light.

01:15South Guardian Angel is not just a tall mountain, it is also one of the least visited peaks in

01:20the Zeon National Park, making it a hidden trail for hikers who enjoy peace and quiet.

01:26Unlike the more crowded trails in Zeon National Park, climbing this peak requires off-trail

01:32navigation and scrambling, which makes it an adventure for experienced explorers.

01:38From the summit, hikers can see breathtaking views of nearby landmarks, like North Guardian

01:43Angel.

01:44From the subway and the Wasp Virgin River Valley, its white Navajo sandstone gave it a glowing

01:49appearance, especially at sunrise and sunset, when the rock shines in golden and pink color.

01:55Because of its remote location and tough access, very few people make it to the top, which adds

02:00to its mystery and charm.
