Angel Rocks Trailhead

Enjoyed this hike! Beautiful along the Chema River and the the views from the top. Definitely not for novices due to the elevation gain ( 750 feet in approximately 1 mile), the tricky train with rocks and roots and the myriad of trail options at the top. Tons of mushrooms! Beautiful but mostly not edible.

Gorgeous trail begins by walking along a crystal clear, gurgling, fork of the Chena River. As the trail turns to boardwalk it begins the gradual assent. After a mile it does get steeper but not too difficult and the view from the top is spectacular, so keep going until you arrive at the “granite tors”. (You can hike the full 8 miles to the hot springs and shuttle back or go up and back.)

This hiking trail is stunning. The most breathtaking view awaits you at the peak.

A really great trail to explore. The parking area is right off Chena Hot Springs Rd. There was plenty of parking. It's a 5 dollar fee at a self paying station. The trail starts off walking along the river. Then comes to a boardwalk that starts your climb up the mountain. Everytime you think your at the top of the rocks you see more. You'll know your at the top after you go through a small cave of rocks. The views are spectacular. Especially in early to mid September when the leaves are changing colors.

A great trail. First mile is flat and easy but it was raining today and there qas a ton of standing water on the trail so hiking boots are a necessity under wet conditions.
