Port Angeles Visitor Center Olympic National Park June 20, 2012

Port Angeles Visitor Center Olympic National Park Wasington.  The park entrance is the most Northern part of the park overlooking the Stait of Juan De Fuca that borders British Columbia and the US.  The park has a 17 mile road to Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center.  At the Range station they showed a short video about Olympic NP and its history and we walked the grounds to the higher elevation there they had tubing sledding areas, beautiful scenery and wildlife walking the parking lots and hills.  We then drove about another mile pass the Ranger station and hiked to Hurricane Hill about 1.5 miles to the summit.  Only after we were about half way to the summit that we come across some snow covered trails.  We just followed along with the crowds and climbed over the snowbanks.  Weather was great, views were spectacular and the wildlife was fun to watch.  We got to the top and of course took pictures and had our pictures taken.
