Mount Angeles, in Olympic National Park south of Port Angeles, is the highest peak in the Hurricane Ridge area and is known for sweeping views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the interior Olympic peaks. Reached by the Klahane Ridge Trail, it stands at the divide of several drainage systems feeding Morse Creek, Ennis Creek, Port Angeles Harbor, the Little River, and the Elwha River. The mountain also reflects the Olympic range’s marine west coast climate, with heavy rain and winter snow from Pacific weather systems. Geologically, it was formed from obducted oceanic crust and sedimentary material, then shaped by Pleistocene glaciation and erosion.
