Obstruction Point; Olympic National Park


My sister and family hiked to Obstruction Point in Olympic National Park a couple weeks ago. She brought back beautiful pictures and I decided to try and get up there as soon as possible.


Yesterday my granddaughter, Natasha, and I made the early morning drive to Hurricane Ridge and then took the 7.7 mile dirt road to the trail head. We took the trail to the right and hiked up to the point where we had a 360 degree view of mountains in all directions. It was the perfect day with almost no clouds and wild flowers at the lower elevations of the hike. There was still enough snow for it to be fun and we crossed two snow fields along the hike.
