Trip with the Girls to Hurricane Ridge!

When the husbands and dads are away with the Young Men on High Adventure...the girls go playing too...
We wanted to find some sunshine to enjoy and started out the day to head to Ocean Shores, but that wasn't looking to sunny, so we headed to Hurricane Ridge.
Here is some pictures of our awe inspiring adventure...not in any specific order
This is AFTER we stopped to take pictures of the bear.  This is a notice to not stop your cars on the highway to take pictures of bears....yea right....if you see a bear that close to the road...You're Gonna Stop!
Me, Cindy Hatch, Debbie Findlay and Amy Hatch
Notice the awesome mountains in the background!!!

Amy conquering the mountain!

Snow still found at the higher levels...
Debbie conquered the mountain!
This deer came running down the mountain side and practically bowled everyone over.  He seemed to suddenly stop just before the trail.

We hiked 1.6 miles up and 1.6 miles back down.  Yea for us!  Well worth the hike up!



Diappearing Olympic Marmot , found only here at Hurricane Ridge and nowhere else on the planet.  Can that be possible?  That's what they tell us...


Goats in the background....
Like the velvet on the antlers!?!
Fun and memorable day!  Thanks ladies, we should do it again sometime soon!
