Hurricane Ridge Road
Hurricane Ridge Road climbs its way into the Olympic Mountains in Washington State. The road is steep with a few tunnels. It ends at the Hurricane Hill Trailhead parking lot. I continue on the dirt road to Obstruction Point.
Obstruction Point
An eight mile gravel road leads further into the mountains and Obstruction Point.
Incredible Mountain Views
The road provides incredible scenic views and I can see the snow covered mountains in the distance.
Bear Pictures
There was a small traffic jam on the way down, people taking pictures of a bear on the side of the road.
Olympic Peninsula Alpaca Rescue
Olympic Peninsula Alpaca Rescue is a 21 acre farm that also operated as a campground during my visit.
Camping with Alpacas
I pitched my tent in the field with the Alpacas and other animals that are free to wander around the farm.
Bring Apples
I was told to bring some apples, which the Alpacas like to eat.
