Angel Rocks Trail

Angel Rocks Trail is a popular hiking route situated in the Chena River State Recreation Area, known for its scenic views and unique rock formations. The trail stretches approximately 5 miles through boreal forest, leading to a viewpoint overlooking the rapidly flowing Chena River and the surrounding hills, ultimately reaching the distinctive granite cliffs that give the trail its name. The hike can take around three to four hours, with the best time to go being during the summer months when the trails are clear. Make sure to bring plenty of water, and be prepared for changing weather conditions; the rocky sections can be slippery, especially after rain. Nearby, the scenic Chena Hot Springs is worth a visit for a relaxing soak after your hike.
