Hurricane Hill — Monday, Mar. 6, 2000

Olympic Peninsula > Northern Coast

We got to the lodge about 10:30, partly sunny and about 35 degrees. The snow at Hurricane ridge was hard enough to hike on without snowshoes, we never did break them out. We made it all the way to the top of Hurricane Hill, and the view was ( as usual ) just the best. At the top, it was cold enough to freeze my beard, with a 15 - 20 Mph wind, but not enough to ruin the trip. The crowds tend to stay near the lodge,even on the weekends, so with very little work, you can be at the ""top of the world"" by yourself.
