One of our favorite places to visit when we are on the west coast is Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic National Park. It offers hiking trails and a great overlook of the mountain range.
We headed up to the ridge early in the morning. Perhaps we should have checked the weather report first.
They don’t call it Hurricane Ridge for nothing!
The view from the car window when we pulled into the parking lot.
And here is what it looked like after I managed to get out of the car in gale force wind.
We were patient. We chose not to take any hiking trails, but we were rewarded with some breaks in the weather.
I am hoping that the following photo gives you a little sense of the wind.

The range and a zoomed in view!
Stay safe. Stay healthy.
See the world around you!
