About Angel Creek:
A cluster of granite outcrops on the Chena Hot Springs Road. Most of the rock is solid, but in places, there are a lot of loose crystals and the occasional loose flake or block. The north sides also tend to have a lot of lichen and moss on them. Major gardening required for those wanting to put up a new route. Most routes are top-roped, but there are a few natural trad routes. |

Access Issues: | This is a very friendly user location and climbers are readily welcome here. Spring time the rivers and creeks tend to flood during break-up and the lower trails along the river wash out. Summer and fall are your best bet. Close to trailhead with about a twenty minute uphill hike. If you like technical downhill mountain biking take your bike up with you. Also has a good trail system leading to Chena Hot Springs about 12 twelve mile hike or ride. |
