Olympic Peninsula

2016-10-17

This summer my family and I spent some time on the Olympic peninsula. One day we went to Hurricane Ridge, where we climbed Hurricane Hill. After that we went to Cape Flattery, which is the most northwest point in the lower 48. We took highway 112 to the cape, which was one of the most fun roads I've ever driven on.

After going to Cape Flattery we went to Lake Crescent to look at the stars, which turned out to be slightly disappointing. We did, however, meet a very drunk woman who decided to be friends with us for about a half hour.
