Angry Mountain, Jordan Creek — Tuesday, Jun. 23, 2020

South Cascades > Goat Rocks

I just hiked angry mountain to Jordan creek and it was to say the less very dangerous. about 5 miles up you loose the trail completely the snow gets really intense at about 5k ft. i only was able to make it all the way because i had the Gaia GPS APP. after a few too many times getting lost i got to the basin (10mi in) a mi from hawk-eye point.I  almost died from a river almost taking me with it under the snow. most of my whole body was under the snow shoot of death. camped shortly after that. it was still heavy snow until Jordan creek trail. Trail was hard to navigate until you get to the creek. you can't pass the bridge to Jordan creek. It seems like instead of fixing the bridge they blocked it instead. then i walked the road back to angry mountain. it was 22 miles total. All in all an incredible hike i'd never do again. please do not attempt this hike right now, i should have turned back doing it was foolish and i'm lucky i didn't die. It's more of a sep-aug hike if you want to be safe.

I know this report was over a month ago. I want to thank you for the trip report. I had a similar experience a year ago on the goat ridge trail to goat lake. I fell through an ice bridge that I was aware of and thought I had a plan to get around it. I learned like you, the Goat Rocks area is not an area to play with when snow is present.
