Olympic National Park

September 4-5, 1999


Mount Olympus Obstruction Point Road
Mount Olympus (7,965 feet) seen from Hurricane Ridge.

Obstruction Point Road, this unpaved road was still closed due to snow and land-slides, so time for a walk!

Deer Marmot
Deers are very common around Hurricane Ridge.

On the way up till Obstruction Point, you can see some marmots in the fields.

Camping Camping
At the end of the day, camping at one of the camp-grounds. It is important to leave your food and tooth-paste in the car during the night, due to the black beers living around here.

So camping the American way: every camp site has its own parking.

Upcoming clouds Upcoming clouds
During the night it started raining at the campground, so I drove up to Hurricane Ridge to be above the clouds

You can see the clouds coming in from the Pacific
