Hurricane Ridge

Thursday we set off to explore downtown Port Angles and then headed up the Olympic National Park to visit Hurricane Ridge.




The journey begins at sea level and in 17 miles you see this view. The top of the ridge is 5200 feet above sea level and looking west, as in this picture, you have a great view of Mt Olympus. It was cloudy and misting as we departed Port Angles and this is what we saw at the top.











You recall that Gail kissed a golden frog at Butchart Gardens hoping for some gold. Well, she got a bear instead. All was not lost...... she was pretty happy with the bear!











Who is that old couple on Hurricane Ridge?





Friday we made the 50 mile trip to Forks on the West side of the Olympic peninsula. We found a great black sand beach and took a stroll. The kids are always cuddling.
More later.
