Approximately 18 miles by road from Port Angeles, the ridge is open to hiking, skiing, and snowboarding and is one of the two most visited sites in the national park.

Looking east towards the Seattle area.
North towards Victoria Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Looking up to the top.
Topo map of the Olympic Peninsula.
The Strait of Juan De Fuca are between the United States and Canada.
See the heavier dashed line there? That's the border line.
See the lighter dashed line? That's where the ferry
runs between Port Angeles, Washington and Victoria Island, British Columbia.
See in the lower left, in the picture above, above the word Strait, there's a spit of land that juts out into the water? That juts out from Dungeness County park where we stayed. We also stayed in Salt Creek county park which is a bit west of Port Angeles.
This marker was at Salt Creek park. I'll tell you what is says.

A very calm day.
Next morning not so calm. That's a cargo ship.

Our camp site.
So along the theory that it's a small world, I belong to a fair amount of facebook groups dealing with RVing and such things. So on one of my walks around Salt Creek I saw a Born Free rv. My friend Kyra has a Born Free and she belongs to a Born Free group. I thought to myself that Kyra probably knows those people. About 30 minutes later I'm scrolling through facebook and someone posts that they're in Salt Creek and I posted that I was too. She said they were in the Born Free rv and to come over for a visit which I did.
Here's Sharen by her Born Free rv, and yes, she knows Kyra.
We had a very nice visit.
The info about Hurricane Ridge at the beginning of this post was copied and pasted from Wikipedia, that's why it looks different.
