Mount Angeles is located just south of Port Angeles, Washington in the Olympic National Park near the popular Hurricane Ridge. The peak has an elevation of 6,454 feet (1,967 m). The switchback trail to Klahane Ridge takes you to within a few hundred feet of the summit. The summit itself can be reached by scrambling. From the summit one can see the Strait of Juan de Fuca and many of the peaks of the interior Olympic Mountains.

The southeast side of Mount Angeles drains into Morse Creek, thence into the Strait of Juan de Fuca a couple of miles east of Port Angeles. The northeast side of Mount Angeles drains into Ennis Creek, thence into Port Angeles Harbor.

The north and west sides of Mt. Angeles drain into the South Branch of Little River, thence into the Elwha River and into Juan de Fuca in the Lower Elwha Indian Reservation, a few miles west of Port Angeles.
