General Comments

Angel Cove Canyon is a fun place to visit for a half day canyon.  With Angel Cove Canyon being short you can loop it to do the Norht Fork then when the exit route crosses over the South Fork drop in and do the South Fork then follow the exit again all the way out to the cars.  Doing both forks will take most of the day but not all of it.

The last road you turn off onto may have some rough spots (depending on when it was last maintained) that a passenger car may not like.  If you find it too rough to travel there is space to get a couple cars parked off to the side of the road at the previous road junction.  From there you can walk the 0.36 miles of dirt road instead of drive in.

Angel Cove is generally dry.  If there have been recent rains you may find a couple spots that can hold water to waist deep.

70 feet of webbing was recomended since rap 5 in the main fork (rap 7 on this route) would use close to 30 feet of it if you need to replace that.  THis route seems to get less travel than the North Fork and has more rappels so more webbing on hand is a good idea.

If doing the Sputh Fork and using the early exit to bypass the final 2 rappels the longest rap will be 55 feet.  The longest rappels are the final raps both at 70 feet.

As you travel down canyon after the confluence you may catch sight of a scenic arch very high up on teh RDC wall but youll have to keep your eyes open as this is easy to miss.

Driving Directions

To get to the Trailhead

From the junction of highway 95 and highway 24 in Hanksville Utah, drive 10.2 miles south on highway 95 to an un-named dirt road on the left (extAngelTrlRd).  The road has a BLM sign saying it goes out to the Angel Trail.  Turn left (east) on the Angel Trail road and ignore smaller dirt roads that branch off.  

2.4 miles from the highway will be a Y in the road (ex0100-0101DD).   Turn left at this Y and continue toward the Angel Canyons on the road labeled 0100.

Stay on road 0100 for 5.9 miles to a turn off to another road on the right (ex1002DD).  Do not turn right on this road but instead continue north for another 0.33 miles to an un-marked dirt road on the right (exAngelCove). Turn right onto the un-marked road and drive 0.36 miles to a large parking area (tAngelCove) to start the route. 

Note: Some vehicles may have issues on the last part of the road if the road has not been recently maintained.  If this is the case you can park at the junction and walk in 0.36 miles to the TH.

To leave the Exit Vehicle / Escape Pod

No exit vehicle is needed.  This is done as a loop route.

Details

The Approach:
From parking area / trailhead (tAngelCove), walk about 0.2 miles southeast to the top of steep dirt slopes (AngelCvExit24) dropping down to a wash below.  Drop down the dirt slopes into the wash (AngelCvExit23) then turn left to walk east down the wash.

A few hundred feet down the wash will be a small shale shelf (yAngelCvSF-Tp) and is the start of the South Fork of Angel Cove Canyon.

The Canyoneering / Technical Section:
From the small shale shelf in the wash (yAngelCvSF-Tp) scramble down it and continue down the wash.

About 150 feet down canyon is rap 1 (dAngelCvSF-R1) which drops about xx feet from a cairn anchor but is easily bypassed walking around on the LDC side then down a shale slope to the top of rap 2 which is about 175 feet down canyon.

Rap 2 (dAngelCvSF-R2) is anchored from a rock pile and drops about 55 feet down a vertical wall. The anchor is after downclimbing a ledge of about 6 feet do get to it.  Walk down canyon about 350 feet to rap 3.

Rap 3 (dAngelCvSF-R3) is anchored from large boulder at the top of the drop and drops about 55 feet.

From the bottom of rap 3 the canyon begins to slot up and become deeper and more narrow. Shortly after rap 3 is a downclimb of about 15 feet in a V-slot.

Rap 4 (dAngelCvSF-R4) is about 200 feet down canyon of rap 3, is anchored from large rock protruding from the canyon floor and drops about 25 feet over a boulder between narrow walls.

Rap 5 is about 125 feet down canyon with a few scrambling downclimbs between.

Rap 5 (dAngelCvSF-R5) is anchored from one of the boulders at the top forming a false floor and drops about 35 feet. The first 10 feet are downclimbable down the slot below the boulders.

After rap 5 are a few short downclimb between narrow walls and one stem style downclimb of about 10 feet.

Rap 6 (dAngelCvSF-R6) is about 150 feet down canyon of rap 5 and is anchored from a large chokestone at the top of the drop and dropps about 20 feet down a shute. Rap 6 can be downclimbed with little difficulty.

After rap 6 are 3 downclimbs of 10 to 15 feet each before getting to the confluence of the North and South Forks of Angel Cove about 300 feet down canyon (jAngelCoveConf).

Just down canyon of this confluence are 7 easy downclimbs of 6 to 12 feet (the last one under a boulder and is a little spicy). This section has the capacity to hold water after recent rains but only to about waist deep.

Note:
As you travel down canyon after the confluence you may catch sight of a scenic arch very high up on teh RDC wall but youll have to keep your eyes open as this is easy to miss.

Just after the downclimbs is a short flat patio like area as the canyon begins to sweep left and chnge character to being a little wider.

Just after the two patio section are two potholes (wAngelCv10) that can be bypassed on ledges on the RDC side with the second one being a little harder to bypass. If you can not bypass the second one you could have chest deep water if full.

While in this section look high up on the RDC wall for a scenic arch forming about 50 feet down canyon.

Shortly after the canyon will open up to a very wide flat area where you can walk over onto the RDC (south) side over to open dirt rolling desert.  This is where you can exit the canyon early and miss the last two rappels and make the day a little shorter.  Or walk over to rap 4 which drops down the water course in this same area.

To Exit Early walk along the RDC side near the side of rap 5 and route find your way about 0.3 miles south to intersect with the exit route.

Rap 4 (dAngelCv-R4) is anchored from a large boulder about 20 feet back and drops about 70 feet down a vertical wall with a ledge about 50 feet down. If the webbing is not extended to the lip it may require 90 feet of rope travel.

Rap 5 (dAngelCv-R5) is in the chamber like area below rap 4 is anchored from a cairn anchor and drops about 70 feet.

From the bottom of rap 5 walk the wash about 200 feet out to the Dirty Devil River (yAngelCove-Bt) and turn right (southeast) to follow use trails.

The Exit:
From end of the wash where it gets to the Dirty Devil (yAngelCove-Bt). turn right to walk south on well defined use trail.

Note:
Very shortly after starting on the use trails, look about waist high on the cliff wall for rock art carvings(sAngelPetro02).  These are not as nice of rock art as the set to the north of here but worth a quick look just to check them out.  Better rock art carvings and some paint can be found about 750 feet north on the cliff walls of a HUGE flat wall the use trails go under.  More details of how to locate these can be found on the route description for Lost Angel and Hidden Angel.

Continue along the use trail for almost 500 feet to where it starts up a sand hill (AngelCvExit11).

About 375 feet further the trail briefly tops out (AngelCvExit12) then drops back down again.

About 200 feet further the trail briefly tops out again (AngelCvExit13).  There is a spot here you can upclimb to get to the next higher level that may be moderately difficult.  If you want to climb up here you can shortcut the route a little.

If you did not climb up yet, follow the use trail about 200 feet to another top out (AngelCvExit14) then about 220 feet to yet one more top out (AngelCvExit15) where it is an easy walk up to the shelf above.

Once up on the shelf above, veer right to walk southwest then west working your way over to a draiange (AngelCvExit16) going up to the west.

When you get to a large pothole in the wash (AngelCvExit17) exit the wash on the right (north) side and route find along the slickrock for about 200 feet to the bottom of a steep side ravine / slot with small potholes visible up in it (AngelCvExit18).

Example Pic. When get to this area you can begin to see the final cliff band you will be climbing up onto.  A good visual aid is the huge pocket / hole in the side of the cliff band.  Your goal is to navigate over to near that huge pocket and scramble up the ramp just to the left (west) of it.

From the bottom of this side ravine / slot, note a semi steep slickrock slope to the left (west) of the ravine.  Scramble you way up to the top of this slope (AngelCvExit19).

Walk north about 200 feet to the bottom of a trough like drainage running up (AngelCvExit20). Follow up this to go up toward the end of the red rock point above. You may need to use your hands in a few steep spots.

Walk up the slopes to get to a ramp like area just to the left of a huge pocket on the side of the cliff band above (AngelCvExit21).

Work your way up the ramp then scramble the dirt and rock debris up to the mesa top with rolling dirt desert above (AngelCvExit22).

Once up on the rolling desert, follow use trails west-ish roughly following the Angel Cove drainage on your right (north) side.

About 0.25 miles up the route will drop into a wash (yAngelCvSF-Tp) just above a shale shelf.  This is the top of the South Fork of Angel Cove.

Continue west up the wash about 450 feet to find one of many use trails (AngelCvExit23) leaving the wash going northwest up the steep dirt slopes.

Example Pic. The better use trail in this area seems to be the one going up the ridge to the left (west) of a hoodoo like rock feature protruding from the dirt slopes.

Once at the top of the dirt slopes (AngelCvExit24) walk northwest about 0.2 miles through rolling desert back to the trailhead (tAngelCove).
