We returned west to the Port Angeles area to explore the Hurricane Ridge section of the Olympic National Park. The 17 mile drive in from Port Angeles to the heart of the Olympic National Park on Hurricane Ridge climbed to over a mile to a beautiful area with views of the Olympic Mountains, many still with snow.
We saw black tailed deer when we hiked a 1 1/2 trail up to a ridgeline where a storyboard said we should enjoy 360 degree views of the mountains, Canada and the greater Seattle area.
The haze and the smog made it impossible to see much beyond the mountains.
Returning down the mountain, we saw a fawn and its mother alongside the road.
On our way out of town to get a site at the same campground we had used two nights ago just east of Port Angeles, we noticed this:
Fuel prices are not as bad as we expected (we use diesel). We have paid over $4.00 just twice since our trip began. Of course, Canada is yet to come.....
