U.S. / Canada West on the 30th day of a camping trip in the morning to hit the 21, Washington, where the Olympic (Olympic) National Park, just great Port Angeles, who paid a little visit Naver blogger Quicksilver's power house. Last night, Victoria, Canada ferry arrived late in our family have you marinate, today is a direct drive to the guide to Olympic National Park.

Olympic National Park, Seattle, Washington, United States Northwest (Seattle), which is located in the west of the peninsula, covered with perpetual snow is more than 2,000 meters above sea level, the mountain region and the United States, the most wise annual rainfall rain forest, or contact with the Pacific coast lakes and springs, plus up area, containing a wide variety of large national park with nature. (Google Click here for location map), however, is where the highest Park Name Olympus (Olympus) merely named after the mountain, there is no correlation at all with the Olympics ... ^ ^

Get down to a little house in the mountains of Olympic National Park Visitor Center is yeah, little national park that envoys Brings in-

Here in Port Angeles is also the Moose Visitor Center has so ...

This was the old trees. "Do you know how old he is, or what exactly it counts ..."

Exhibition was also made separately for children, low-fat teddy bear (?) Well it was seemingly a bit.

Came down to the right, go up the road again divided Sore, came out great Olympic National Park entrance, our destination of Hurricane Ridge (Hurricane Ridge), where in addition to other Visitor Center is approximately 1,500 m and climb.

Go up a little bit north, overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca built observatory gave the car a while. Weather permitting looked across the ocean to Canada to Victoria, cloudy because overlooking the city of Port Angeles had to be satisfied. (I had previously read the travel guide is written - Olympic National Park to visit the 'sunny weather when it comes to luck' as ...)

Going through tortuous mountain road tunnel, about 1,600 m above sea level, about 40 minutes from the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center had arrived.

South of the Canadian Chamber of semin 0 won peninsula overlooking photos of models, which look at the center of the picture 'YOU ARE HERE' in it now, we are shown the location of Hurricane Ridge. And, over the southwest of the valley covered in ice caps ...

(Fiction series has evolved this quiet rural town wondering how you, click here ...)

Visitor Center at the back of a large observatory yeah, who's 'Hurricane' Ridge'm not a huge blow to the wind-

Purple wildflower meadow is covered over the snow-capped peaks remain visible at the bottom, but only slightly so, High peaks, including Mount Olympus Unfortunately, all of the leaders in the dark rain clouds did not obscure.

However, even in high winds felt that this purple wildflowers, bluebonnets unforgettable Dawn (lupine) ... the scent of flowers, if each color has its own fragrance, purple lupine flowers have a pin on Hurricane Ridge fragrance suits, I thought.

The visitor center is away from the wind came again. Quicksilver by the end of that wisdom diligently explain something to Him. On this day, this is crowded with tourists, not the National Park Visitor Center, deep in the mountains of the Lodge felt desolate.

The Lodge at last that caught my eye is this cross-eyed ... with a chair leg of interesting shapes rather too playful patterns of Indians crazy, as children's work too ... just saying something profound and I was wondering ...

Through the thick clouds on the way back down to Port Angeles and met a deer. This wasteland where deer are you haunting your yard, deer in the mountains you saw nothing to wear.

The place to buy lunch in the liver is the most delicious burger in Port Angeles, but, drive-through, but was a very small shop. However, now the most well off in the American Southwest in-n-out hamburger chain (In-n-Out), so that the departure is so, be famous hamburger chain stores do not even know is later. Shop named 'Frugals' Let's keep in mind because ... well ... ^ ^ back to eating delicious burgers to go home, feed me lay guide to give thanks to God I give Quicksilver the next destination of our family in Seattle is headed. Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic Games, although one (Olympic) National Park is a very small part, it's like a rain cloud covered only see less of our trip on the 30th day of the most appreciated and valuable memory left.
