Angel Rocks Trail
Angel Rocks
A classic loop trail in Chena River State Recreation Area, climbing past clusters of granite pinnacles with views over the Chena River valley.
Located in Chena River State Recreation Area along the road to Chena Hot Springs, the loop trail is about 5.5 km long with about 270 meters of elevation gain. It passes through forest before reaching a group of towering granite pinnacles that overlook the Chena River valley. Fit hikers can continue on a longer route of about 13 km from Angel Rocks to Chena Hot Springs. The trail is free, and there is a parking lot at the trailhead. Mosquitoes are abundant in summer, so bring repellent, and watch for bear warning signs.
