Angel Peak Scenic Area
Angel Peak Scenic Area, located about 23 miles south of Aztec on Highway
550, offers more than 10,000 acres of rugged terrain recognized for its
scenic and scientific wonders. The nearly 7,000-foot Angel Peak, a landmark
composed of river deposited sandstone from the San Jose Formation, is visible
for miles in any direction. However, the banded colors of the badlands
and the deep sculpted fingers of the canyon at the base of Angel Peak are
only fully revealed to those who make the short journey along the rim.
The recreational area is managed by the BLM with various amenities for
camping and picnics.
