Hurricane Ridge

John and Kay were anxious to show us the beauty of Hurricane Ridge. It was about a forty-five minute drive beautiful drive up to the alpine of the Olympic National Park Visitors Center. From there we had several options to hike.

As we charted our course a way too comfortable deer seemed to be wondering if we had a small bite for him to eat. Nada!

Kay led the way and enjoyed every sight and smell along the way. Everything looked familiar to her as the daughter of a forest ranger, and I enjoyed her enthusiasm and excitement over every tree and flower.

This was the final leg to the point of Sunset Ridge. On a clear day we would have been able to see the ocean out to Victoria BC, but not today.

This was a view the other direction looking at the road we had drive up. After our short hike we checked out the visitor's center before heading back down. So glad we did this!
