Having visited coasts and forests, it was time to make our way to the third of Olympic National Park's biomes -- the mountains. Hurricane Ridge was our choice.
Wildflowers like Broadleaf Lupine brought fond memories of our former home in Colorado.
The area around the visitor center has hiking trails with nice payoffs, like this view north to Port Angeles and the Strait of Juan de Fuca from the Cirque Rim Trail ...
... and this 360-degree vista from Sunrise Point.
This scraggly Mule Deer was quite comfortable with people, grazing contentedly near the parking lot as it filled with visitors.
A quick trip for a nice walk in some alpine air!
