Angel Rock is a popular attraction near Fairbanks, and its unique geology is composed of granite pillars that were once formed from molten magma forced upward from deep beneath the Earth’s layers. These striking rock formations are millions of years old and hiking among them is a great way to connect to the ancient and wild spirit of Alaska!
