Hurricane Hill - Port Angeles Washington Hikes

A 7.4-mile day hike from Hurricane Ridge to the Elwha Valley. This trail offers a scenic walk from Hurricane Ridge all the way down to the floor of the Elwha Valley. It begins as a paved nature trail that climbs gradually along a meadowy ridgeline. There are outstanding views of the Bailey Range here, and black-tailed deer and Olympic marmots are sometimes sighted. The trail soon reaches a saddle where the stark and forbidding heights of Mount Angeles can be seen to the east.
