Mountainous amphitheater of Klahhane Ridge

Overview

Lake Angeles is one of the most accessible day-hikes from Port Angeles as it is only a 20-minute drive from Port Angeles, located 5 miles up Hurricane Ridge road before the entrance fee station. The hike to Lake Angeles is 3.7 miles and is part of the larger 12 mile Heather Park and Klahhane Ridge Loop, which has overnight wilderness camping. With the lake over 4,000 feet elevation, the easiest access to Lake Angeles is June - October with snow/ice as a major factor during the winter months. The trail is primarily under tree cover until reaching the lake.
