(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.
