Hurricane Ridge, Olympic National Park

John, Mary, Dick and Char at Hurricane Ridge

Today, Dick and Char joined with us to camp outside Olympic National Park. Today we visited the Hurricane Ridge section of the park. The ridge is so named because of the fierce winds atop the 5500 foot ridge. We did a short hike from the visitor center getting a 360 degree view from glaciers in the mountains to our west to seeing Vancouver Island across the strait. (All our phones got a Welcome to Canada message as we picked up their cell phone towers. We also found 3 deer and 2 marmots on the trail. We headed down to sea level and then west to the Lake Crescent area to take another hike, but it started pouring rain, so we headed back to camp at ElwahDam Campground.

We found deer
