I was in a bit of a rush this day but really wanted to conquer this hike before I head back to California.and I'm really glad I did it! It took me about a total of 1 hour 30 minutes for this hike with 20 minutes for pictures, rock scrambling and staring at the view. I did have to run down with my hiking boots & day pack (almost fell several times although I'm a trail runner.don't recommend running with hiking boots & a day pack) since I was short on time so it may take longer if walking down. You can make this hike longer by going to Devil's Rest. I shall conquer that one next time.įorest pass is not required to park. The lot is quite small and parking can be difficult due to the popularity. There was a sign that said restrooms are available 0.4 miles away from the Angel's Rest trailhead. I disagree with previous reviewer, although the 2.3 mile hike is moderate, tennis shoes are not sufficient because some sections of the trail are quite rocky, wearing sneakers is hw people end up with sore feet and/or twisted ankels. This hike is nice, and offers a beautiful view from the top, however the trail suffers from overuse/lack of maintenance, there was a surprising and depressing amount of trash on the trailsides in December. And I had the misfortune to encounter two charging off-leash pitbulls on the trail, having some rangre patrols on the trail to enforce the obvious rules would be nice. If you are hiking just for the falls, there are no more wate features after the bridge. Note that there was a pile of broken automotive glass in the trailhead lot, not a good sign Therer are no restrooms at the trailhead, closest are at Bridal Veil 0.8 miles up the road.
