We have been visitors here since our children were wee ones, and now they have families of their own.

It seems fitting that this would be our last stop before heading home on our vacation.

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!

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.
