For the view from an RV window http://n5lp.net/Mountain.htm second to last photo.
Well I made that comment a few years ago when I was younger and it was based mostly on experience of quite a few years before that when I was younger yet.As I'm a regular visitor to Zions................
I got a kick out of your comment regarding Angels Landing...
"If you ever visit this park I urge you to make the short hike to the top. "
So, how short is short?

Even at my now advanced age, I think it is a not-to-be-missed hike.
It is a fantastic hike. The two hour figure would mean 1 hour upstream and 1 hour back down.I've never done the Angels Landing hike, but hiking up the river to the Narrows is incredible if you can stand 2 hours of wading through a cold river water with an uneven, rocky bottom known for breaking ankles.
Being at the bottom of a 1,000' tall slot canyon while standing in a 15' wide channel is an unreal experience. The possibility of of a rainstorm somewhere upstream causing a flash flood is a little sobering, though...

Well, I misled people there. It is two hours upstream in the best of conditions (low water) and pushing pretty hard. Going downstream is much faster. On the best of days, the entire hike is probably at least 3 hours.
In higher water, it could take far longer.
But who is counting when you're having fun... ;-)
