This is a great trek up the mountain and well worth the 17 mile long and winding road. Breathtaking views along the way and unbelievable view at the top. Don't miss it if you're in the area.

We took the Seattle ferry that could accommodate 2500 passengers and 225 cars- amazing. Then driving all the way up the Hurricane Ridge road from the Olympic NP visitor center, through thick green forested winding road.

It costs $15 to buy the pass to drive up to Hurricane Ridge, but it is almost always worth the cost. We went up when it was cloudy/raining, and so it seemed like it would be a waste of money, but after driving through the at times very very thick cloud, we came out the top of it and then... More

Hurricane Ridge, at 5242 feet, offer spectacular views of the Olympic mountain range. Also the visitor center is very informative and has a gift shop and food options. To get the full Washington and Olympic National Park experience, with rolling green hills and snowcapped mountains and wildlife all around, Hurricane Ridge is a must-stop travel spot.
