When Jenni and I were out in the Olympic Mountains, we were driving up to Hurricane Ridge, a 5000' + lookout that lets you see the whole Olympic range. On the way up, we say a crazy ridge (that actually looked more like one of the Cascades), only 1.6 mile hike. We said, what the hell, and did it. It was steep, but with all the hiking I've done, I have to say this was one of the best ever. 25 swtchbacks took us up 1.6 miles and 1600 feet through gorgeous subalpine meadows, filled with wildflowers of all sorts. We got above the clouds and ate lunch on Klahhane Ridge, a bit under 6000 ' elevation. And the view was even better than Hurricane Ridge.
