Hurricane Ridge is a short drive from Sequim to Port Angeles and then 17 miles up into the Olympic National Park. This is part of almost a million acres of National Park lands in the Olympics west of Seattle. You could say this is a national treasure. I enjoyed a hike on the trails of Hurricane Ridge this beautiful sunny Labor Day weekend, and I thought you might enjoy the photos.
Hurricane Ridge is Beautiful

Hurricane Ridge is Very Impressive
The drive up to Hurricane Ridge is a very pleasant drive, and if you’ve ever driven up to a ski hill, then you can imagine what this drive is like, only without the snow this time of year. There’s a lot to see, and when I first arrived at the top, I found myself just starring at the mountains and breathing in the fresh mountain air. A lot of other people were caught in the same trance, and I saw tourists from all over the world, and almost everyone had a camera in their hands.
I strongly recommend Hurricane Ridge as one of your little tours while your here.

I love Hurricane Ridge. My husband is a photo buff, and I love hiking, so we had a wonderful time, and we lucked out, because the sun was out when we were there. Blooming flowers, snow capped mountains, beautiful pine trees and old growth trees (yes, I’m a tree hugger), and the fresh air was invigorating. Love it.
