We spent an afternoon hiking Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic National Park. 
The Park is in the northwest corner of Washington state. It is a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site, with rugged peaks, glaciers and subalpine meadows. Coast, forest, and mountain ecosystems combine to create a spectacular wilderness park. 
At an altitude of 5,242 feet, it was cold - in the low 60's. Clouds were pulling moisture off the ocean, rolling it over the mountains. 
Most of the time we were walking in clouds, and it was quite ethereal, very quiet.
We hiked for a little over two hours. I liked the tree roots on the trail. Such tenacity.
