Following our hike on the Spruce Railroad trail around Lake Crescent, we resupplied and headed up into the Olympic Mountain Range to the lookout at Hurricane Ridge. The drive to the top is 17 miles of twisty, back-and-forth roads to climb us to over 5200 feet. At the top, there are spectacular views of the Olympic Mountain Range. There are some trails at the lookout point, and we did walk around a little. One of the trails still had snow on it! Claire and Levi touched the snow and were surprised that it was
cold. The lookout point was busy, but the views of the Olympic Mountain Range made it worth it. If we hadn't already walk many miles earlier this day, we would have walked around more of the trails at the summit. On the drive down the mountain, we noticed the big full moon coming out in the dusk sky along the mountain range, what a beautiful sight.
