Route Description for Covel Creek Falls and Angel Falls Trail
The Covel Creek and Angel Falls hike is a fantastic quick adventure with two beautiful waterfalls to enjoy. This hike is moderately difficult, so while it has a few steep sections, it’s suitable for most skill levels. We like this hike best in the late spring when the waterfalls are the most impressive.
We recommend downloading a GPS track of this trail before setting out. There are some junctions that users report getting off-track at.
Beginning from the trailhead, head out along Covell Creek. Cross the creek twice before approaching Curtain Falls. Enjoy the falls here before deciding which way to do the loop. We prefer going counterclockwise to hit the 5 switchbacks on the other side of the falls downhill. From the falls, backtrack a few steps to the trail split and go right. Hike a level section and then take a right on Burley Mountain Trail. Cross the creek to check out Angel Falls, then head downhill back to Curtain Falls and retrace your steps from here to the trailhead.
