Hurricane Ridge Viewpoint

Located 18 miles from Port Angeles in the Olympic National Park you can drive to the visitor center at an elevation of 5,242 feet. A 1.6 mile paved trail is perfect for non-hikers. Hikers have moderate to severe trials that descend to subalpine lakes. The visitor center has a gift-shop, snack bar, picnic areas and visitor tips. The mountain views along with views of Victoria and Mount Baker will astound you! Be prepared for strong winds (hence the name) and the possibility of snow even in the summer. It is rare to have a well maintained road lead this high into the mountains. Enjoy!
