The Road To Hurricane Ridge

I'm in Washington for a couple weeks. No trip to the Olympic Peninsula would be complete without a tour of Olympic National Park. If you are staying in Seattle you can make a half-day trip out of driving to Hurricane Ridge, 17 miles south of Port Angeles.

I'm on vacation for 12 days, and it's off to Washington state! My mother lives in the small seaside town of Port Townsend, and it's actually been a few years since I've come up to visit. It's not all family business, though. Port Townsend lies next door to the Olympic Mountains, and although the mountains themselves are snow-packed and inaccessible the surrounding forest and communities hold a lot of possibilities for fun and discovery.

If you know the area and have a recommendation for places to visit leave me a comment or @roadup me on Twitter.
