On our first day in Zion National Park, Utah, we had planned "Angels Landing" which is regarded the craziest hike by many. We knew what to expect: 5 miles and 1500 feet of elevation gain which is not really crazy (just a little steep); hiking the ridge of the formation in the center-right of this picture would be crazy, though: Only a few feet wide at many places, sheer drops exceeding a thousand feet on both sides, and chains to hold on to in places, no support at all in other places. A sign a the trailhead had warned us that "people have dies on this trail", and I was was curious how I would cope with the height, being somewhat afraid of heights. I decided to see how it would work out for me once I'd be up there.
This picture was taken in Zion Canyon, about a half mile into the trail which at this stage was fairly level, along the Virgin river.

PITTSBURG LANDING. Even before the Battle of Shiloh, this was an important landing. Merchants of Corinth, Purdy, and the adjacent country received most of their merchandise from boats which tied up at this point. When the boats went back downstream, they were laden with passengers, cotton, and produce which had been transported to the Landing over the roads which converged here.
When the Union armies began preparations for the move against Corinth, Pittsburg Landing was selected as the concentration point because of its good camp sites and the good roads which led to the Confederate stronghold. The Army of the Tennessee, with the exception of Lew Wallace's 3d Division, debarked at Pittsburg Landing. General Buell's army, brought to Grant's aid under the stress of battle, arrived at the field on such a large number of transports that the Landing would not accommodate them. Consequently, all of the riverbank within the Union lines was used as a boat landing.
Because of the importance of the Landing, the engagement was called "Battle of Pittsburg Landing" in most Northern newspapers and reports. The Southern name "Battle of Shiloh" is now almost universally accepted.
