Mount Angeles, the highest summit between Hurricane Ridge and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, offers a nearly unparalleled panoramic view of the interior range, including the nearby glaciated peaks, Mount Carrie and Mount Olympus and nearly every high peak of the range, as well as the entire northern coast of the Olympic Peninsula, and on a clear day, the Pacific Ocean. Mount Angeles is an easy climb as scrambles go, and exceedingly popular. It is a popular local “mountain run,” often climbed by local climbers before or after work. Given its proximity to the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center, the “trail” route is frequently climbed by determined hikers, and even a few tourists manage to reach the summit, although the mountain is far too craggy and exposed to recommend to any but experienced scramblers. Because the Hurricane Ridge Road is open year round (as conditions permit), Mount Angeles is a popular winter and spring climb,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it is subject to extremes in weather and avalanche hazard. It is a very good spring and summer scramble. One of the main attractions of Mount Angeles is the mountain goats, which have found this high ridge to be more to their liking than any other within the park. The goats were introduced to the Olympic Mountains in the 1930s to provide “sport” for local hunters. Hunting was banned with the establishment of Olympic National Park,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the goat population exploded due to a lack of predators,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which resulted in a great deal of environmental damage due to erosion and overgrazing. So, during the 1980s, a program began that deported goats back to the Cascade Range and was followed by the eradication of the remaining goats. Predictably, the mountain goat population has decreased substantially since then. On Mount Angeles, you stand a fair chance of seeing one or more of these curious creatures up close and personal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], although the goats, having understandably grown wary of humans, tend to avoid the mountain these days.
