Hurricane Hill Nature Trail, Olympic National Park, Near Port Angeles, Washington

Olympic National Park
Hurricane Ridge

Once you reach the top of Hurricane Ridge, there are 3 viewpoints, with none more dramatic than the highest one (of course!). The panorama below wraps around 360^o, and only provides a small sense of what it's like to see it in person.

Earlier I told you there was a surprise over these colorful hills. The ridge-top revelation? A stunning view of Port Angeles, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and Vancouver Island.

While standing at this viewpoint, I listened as several people crested the hill, and captured their first glimpse. The first word out of everyone's mouth? "Wow."

Mount Olympus

Turn away from the Port Angeles view, and you find more mountains, including the often cloud-shrouded centerpiece, Mount Olympus.

Tip:

Plan on spending 30 minutes to an hour at the top of the hill. Between the incredible views, and the effort you had to exert to get here, you won't want to leave.
