Angel Peak Scenic Area, Protected area in San Juan County, New Mexico.
Angel Peak rises to an elevation of 6,988 feet, featuring multicolored rock formations within 10,000 acres of desert terrain near Farmington.
The San Jose Formation sandstone and Nacimiento Formation sediments contain mammal fossils that contribute to understanding Earth's geological development through time.
Geologists and paleontologists study the layers of sandstone, siltstone, and mudstone in the area to document the evolution of various species.
The site includes three picnic areas with shelters, tables, fire grates, and accessible vault toilets, plus nine camping sites along the canyon rim.
The nature trail leads visitors to an overlook bench where they can observe the banded colors of badlands and deep canyon formations.
