Hurricane Ridge

Hurricane Ridge is the park's great mountain balcony. On clear days the Olympic peaks rise in a jagged wall to the south, while the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Vancouver Island sit to the north.

Short trails make it accessible even if you are not a serious hiker. Come early in summer for parking and visibility; clouds can erase the view with impressive speed.

A story
Hurricane Ridge is named honestly. Winter storms can hit with ferocious wind, yet the road from Port Angeles turns it into one of the easiest high-mountain viewpoints in the Pacific Northwest.
