The pictures of Olympic National Park speak for themselves. We were very lucky with regards to the weather. The region was under a heat alert with temperatures reaching the 90's. People were running for shelter. We traveled N. on 101 around the peninsula to Port Angeles, passing through ocean, rain-forest, and mountainous zones of the park. We hitch-hiked up and back from Hurricane Ridge as the ascent was straight up hill - for 18 miles. We were welcomed by calm skies and friendly rangers. We can't wait to return with our backpacks.
