Angel Rocks on Chena Hot Spring Road.
The trail is not so long and you can get amazing view from the ridge!
Here is the latter bunch of the pictures taken on the hike to Angel Rocks.
It was so hot in the sun on that day. The temperature reached more than 30 degrees Celsius.
After hiking, we camped out at Granite Tors Campground.
At the campsite, we helped a Canadian couple who left the key in the rented camping car.
There is a small window at the loft in the car open, so I squeeze myself into the window and open the lock from inside!
Angel Rocksを周回するトレイルは、高尾山、小仏城山をまわって日影に下りるくらいのイメージですが、巨大な岩の上から眺める景色がすばらしかったです。
この日は、ものすごく暑くて、摂氏30度以上あったので、下山するときは結構、へとへとになってしまいました。
下山後、Granite Tors Campgroundというキャンプ場に泊まったのですが、カナダ人夫婦がレンタルしたキャンピングカーの中に鍵を入れたままにしてロックしてしまったそうで、携帯を貸してくれないかと言ってきました。しかし、携帯はあるもののエリア外で通信できず、結局、キャンピングカーの上部にある小さな窓から自分が無理やり中に入り込んでドアの鍵を開けることに成功しました。
Lots of huge rocks on the ridge.
We had lunch on the top of one of the huge rocks.
Can you see the tiny people on the rock in the center?
There are a few people standing on the top of the rock in the right.
Here is the close-up.
You can tell how huge the rock is.

There were quite a few plants growing at the forest,
but the berries were not so many.
