From Temperate and Steamy to Alpine Chill

In little more than an hour, we had left the summer-like rain forest and hot springs behind and we were surrounded by 20 foot deep snow banks. Hurricane Ridge overlooks mighty 7,965' Mt. Olympus and the many peaks that make up the Olympic Range to the south. To the north, the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Victoria, British Columbia are in full view. Talk about those WOW! moments... this was definately one of them.
