Hurricane Ridge is a popular and highly visited area of Olympic National Park. Hurricane Ridge Road provides easy access to a pristine alpine ecosystem as well as several interpretive nature trails which surround the interactive Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center. Two of these trails form an easy 1.5 mile loop recommended for people of virtually all ages and ability. The High Ridge - Cirque Rim Nature Loop leads to Sunrise Point where 360 degree views of the Olympic Peninsula are unmatched.
