Description
...drove up to Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic Mountains two days ago.
...view down and up from a viewpoint at about the 3500 foot (1,067m) level.
...the road is a good two lane road but with lots of twists and turns. The trip begins just a few feet above sea level in Port Angeles, Washington and ascends along its 17 mile route to a height 5,240 feet (1,597m) above sea level. And there is still about ten feet of snow on the upslope side of the parking lot up there:)
...the trip took us 30 minutes by car but took the first exploration party one month back in the 1890s...by foot of course:)

What beautiful scenery, excellent capture!!
Wow! WOW! gorgeous pics!
Two very illustrative photos of this steep, rugged forest land. Those are almost 45 degree slopes. The shades of color are great - both in the trees and in the moss. I wonder how much wildlife is hidden from our view in these photos? I've just been looking through krittermom's gallery and the fantastic work she's doing raising little animals who have lost their parents (often due to human cruelty/"pleasure"). And have often wondered about us human's role in this world and what we're doing to the animal's habitats. Keep up the good work. These nature photos are astounding. The size of the photos show the immensity of what's in front of you, but is too large to be captured by the camera. :-)
My knees hurt just looking at the picture.
Spectacular views and great photos, Bill! Such magnificent scenery out there, and you've captured it well!
Awesome scene Hugs Susan~
Amazing sight and captures Bill. God Bless.
FANTABULOUS IMAGE!

Oooohh! Very nice! I like seeing the two views like this. It gives a great sense of what it's like up on that mountain. Excellent presentation!
Very scenic Bill, and I think a bit chilly too!
Superb landscape shots Bill.

Excellent records of your day Bill, love the first shot a lot.
The rugged northwest, not like anyplace else on earth! Beautiful captures of your trip; I'll bet it smelled heavenly up there!

Sush a fantastic and macnificent View. Wonderuful shots, both of them :)
Great collage of this very rugged and beautiful landscape Bill! Very good lighting and POV's
Very nice captures. Well done.
Super lush POVs, detail and lush colors in this collage, Bill, but you just triggered a debilitating attack of acrophobia in me, so I'll have to make this short.
beautiful lush photos, bill, and showing (as in tara's recent shot) the "piggyback" quality of these hills within hills, and allowing the lush vegetation to encroach everything. The composition on the left-shot moves from the stringy front bushes to the packed dense trees in the background; and you caught all that color-activity in the low foreground, which will lead to the pure blue-greens of the background. A really nice progression for us. And the right-image is composed with two huge peaks (bulbous protrusions may be a better term) that beautifully poke out of the vegetation, and are topped off with fog. Two thoughtful captures in composition, inclusion and in sweep. I'm really glad you two are seeing all this, as spring sets in full force: These are beautiful.
Splendid lush mountainside you have captured here so nicely. That snow sounds to be pretty deep and not a place to be yet but these slopes look pretty inviting.
beautiful images!
Beautiful..learned to drive on this road!!
