Park your car at the Farm Bureau Co-op on Route 460 West in the parking spots closest to Route 460. Use Option 2 if you prefer an overnight backpack.
We did this hike as a 2 day out and back backpack (minus tent and sleeping bag), spending the night at Woods Hole Hostel. You will most likely meet some AT thru hikers and hear some great stories. We highly recommend spending the night at the hostel. Who doesn’t want a hike with a shower, bed, dinner and breakfast at the halfway point? Well, if you do Option 3 and stay at the Woods Hole Hostel, that’s what you’ll have. There is an additional excellent view of the Wilburn Valley about ½ mile beyond Angels Rest, well worth the extra ½ mile. It is only 2 miles to Angels Rest from the Angels Rest Trailhead/Parking but be prepared for a tough climb, you will gain 1500’ to get there. An overnight backpack to the Woods Hole Hostel Docs Knob AT Shelter (26.0 Miles)Īngels Rest offers one of the most beautiful views of the New River as it meanders North through Virginia and into West Virginia. An overnight backpack to the Docs Knob AT Shelter (20.4 Miles). Angels Rest out and back day hike (4 miles).
There are other options for Parking if you are only doing a day hike to Angels Rest that will be mentioned in the writeup below.ĭon’t let the 26 mile length of this hike scare you off if all you want to see is Angels Rest. Parking is at the Farm Bureau Parking Lot on Route 460 West.
