THREE HIKING SISTERS, we love to hike together, but we don't all live in the same state. Sometimes it is only two of us, and sometimes we hike with others. This is a record of some of our hikes.

Hurricane Hill
We drove up to Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park this morning to beautiful views and many deer grazing in the meadow below the parking lot. The Hurricane Hill Road is still closed due to one large snow mound across the road, so we hiked along the road (adding 1+ mile each way) to the Hurricane Hill trailhead and up to Hurricane Hill. Our route was 6.3 miles round trip with 920 ft of overall gain. We saw early wiildflowers, many deer, marmots and chipmunks, plus outstanding views, an awesome day of hiking!
