Hurricane Ridge
an alpine viewpoint a mile high above Port Angeles
Hurricane Ridge is one of the places Roamward flags on the Olympic Peninsula Loop (US 101) because it gives the drive its texture: an alpine viewpoint a mile high above Port Angeles. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
How it fits the drive
The Olympic Peninsula Loop runs Port Angeles loop, WA. Rainforest, peaks, and wild coast in one circle.
