Very steep, very awe inspiring. I started from the Grotto. The portion of trail between The Grotto and Scout Lookout is mostly paved.
There was wall to wall people all the way to Scout Lookout. Most folks ended their hike there. I did not know there was a bathroom at Scout Lookout. Thankfully! As there was no way to pee along the trail due to the terrain and traffic. I entered the lottery for Angel's Landing prior to my trip but did not get picked. After Scout Lookout, the crowd thinned significantly, and the trail was a dirt trail. Wonderful views and vistas all along. The rock formations were always interesting.
