Port Angeles. View of Hurricane Ridge

Stunning views of Hurricane Ridge open from the tourist center of Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center. The camera is aimed in the southeasterly direction and shows several mountains of Olympic National Park.

In the tourist center, you can get acquainted with local attractions, watch the 20-minute film about the park, as well as visit the gift shop and snack bar. Such information centers for visitors of Olympic National Park are open in several locations. The tourists can make their own detailed plan of excursions in the park.

In winter, you can see snowboarders and skiers on the slope of the ridge, and in summer, tourists hiking in the mountains. The athletes, who cannot wait for winter to come, can go to the highest peaks of the ridge, where snow doesn’t melt even in July.

The ridge got its name due to the changeable weather, because it sometimes snows even in summer.
