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.

Klahhane Ridge Trail
Drove up to Hurricane Ridge at Olympic National Park to hike the Klahhanne Ridge Trail over to the ridge, then hiked all the way down to the Switchback Trailhead to catch the shuttle back up to Hurricane Rige, 5.2 miles with 1,150 ft of gain and 2.000 ft of loss. Gorgeous hike! The trail was very dry, so I was amazed to see wildflowers in bloom.

This trail alternates between in the forest and open fileds along ridgelines. Here a view of Mount Angeles and Klahhanne Ridge in the distance
