Geocache Description:

Stop by this location while traversing from Angel Rocks Trailhead to Chena Hot Springs or do an out and back hike or ski trip from the Hot Springs. The area offers great views of the surrounding mountains and there is a shelter with a wood stove for those who want to stay a while.

Shovelman and I contemplated traversing from Angel Rocks to Chena Hot Springs last fall, but did not have time to complete it. Today's Angel Rocks Event Cache gave me the opportunity to return and place a cache at this special place. Many thanks to all the cachers who participated in the morning event and the day-long traverse hike to the hot springs!

"Angel Rocks Shelter" is located within the Chena River State Recreation Area.  The shelter may be accessed via a 5.0 mile trek from the Angel Rocks Trailhead or a 3.5 mile trek from Chena Hot Springs.  Some people like to set up a car shuttle and hike from Angel Rocks, past Angel Rocks Cache to the resort (the route is described here and maps are usually available at the Angel Rocks trailhead), soak in the natural hot springs, and then drive back to town.
