Special Notes: HIKE TO PROJECT AREA: It is a very steep

CAMPSITE: The crew will car camp at the trailhead. There are no developed facilities nor potable water. Please bring plenty of water for your meals in camp as well as on the trail, or plan to treat it from the nearby creek. We anticipate that there will be
a Forest-wide ban on campfires. So no burning wood or charcoal please. Smoking will be limited to gravel roads only!
Trail Facts: Located off Forest Service Road 2120, the
Angry Mountain Trail climbs up steep switchbacks towards Angry Mountain. After entering the Wilderness it reaches an open ridge and the grade continues until the trail ends on Lily Basin Trail. The highest point on Angry Mountain is 6,049 feet. The name might
have come from people hiking the extremely steep ridgeline on the south slope of the mountain. Or the name might refer to the frequent storm clouds surrounding the summit.
