(CNN) — One of America's most popular national park hikes will require a permit as of 2022.
Officials at Zion National Park have announced that as of April 1, 2022, visitors who want to tackle the famous Angels Landing hike, which scales a 1,488-foot tall rock formation to reveal sweeping views of the canyons below, will have to enter an online lottery to try and get a permit.
"Angels Landing is one of the most iconic destinations in Zion National Park and issuing permits will make going there fair for everyone," National Park Service (NPS) superintendent Jeff Bradybaugh said in a statement.

Over the past 10 days, Vice President JD Vance put Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on notice, rattled the confidence of century-old allies in Western Europe during his first foreign trip, decamped to Capitol Hill to help in delicate budget talks and delivered a spirited defense of the Trump administration’s first month to a gathering of conservatives outside the nation’s capital.
