The recorded message from Olympic National Park at 7:45 AM said, “The roads are clear, wet and foggy. Peaks and valley are not visible because of dense fog.” Well, we knew what we would find but we went there anyway, 35 miles to the trailhead from our cabin in Sequim.
The trail up Hurricane Hill to Hurricane Hill starts here...but not for us today!
Oh, the memories of the good times we have had hiking Hurricane Hill!
Six years ago, we hiked the steep trail to the top of the hill for the first time. It’s only a couple of miles but they don’t tell you that that’s the elevation gain. The Ranger at the Park entrance had said it was the first clear day in two weeks. The view was well worth the effort.

Four years later, we returned to Olympic National Park and Hurricane Hill
The trail up Hurricane Hill is breathtaking in more ways than one!
We carry a tripod in the back pack for taking self portraits in out of the way places.

Alright well I know that it’s not ideal for hiking and viewing but “wet and foggy” sounds like paradise to me!
The boys wanted to know why the clouds fell
