Pacific Northwest Trek Summits Hurricane Ridge
The Pacific Northwest Trekkers biked up to the top of Hurricane Ridge -- a 12.5 route that climbed a full mile, vertically. Along the way, they saw wildlife including deer and marmots, and lots of colorful alpine flowers. From the summit, they had a stunning view out over the snow-capped Olympic Mountains.
After a hike, some snacks, and ice cream, they got to cruise back down the ridge, averaging 25 miles per hour. Back at their campsite, they took a well-deserved siesta and closed out the night by cooking dinner together and playing games.
