PNWR Hurricane Ridge & Olympic Peninsula Tour
PNWR Olympic Peninsula TourAbout this event
NOTE THAT THIS TOUR STARTS OVER ON THE OLYMPIC PENINSULA, SO ALLOW ENOUGH TIME TO GET TO PORT GAMBLE BY THE SHOW TIME!!
This is the first PNWR overnight tour to the upper end of the Olympic Peninsula in several years, so it should be something NEW to many of our new members and a "welcome back" to the "old heads"! This two-day tour takes you along winding, tree lined back roads beside the water, up to spectacular views of the Olympic mountains from Hurricane Ridge and on to dramatic Cape Flattery, the northwestern most point in the the continental United States

Other Details:
A National Parks Pass is required for Hurricane Ridge. We will stop to purchase passes en route.
A 7-day pass costs $25.00, an annual pass costs $80.00. Lifetime passes are $10 for Seniors (age 65 or older). There are no single day passes available. Annual and Lifetime passes can be purchaed online and by phone on advance. This is recommended so that we keep our ranger station stop short.
A $10 Makah Recreation Pass is required for Cape Flattery. It is situated on the Makah Indian Reservation. We will stop at the Makah Tribal Museum in Neah Bay museum to purchase passes and briefly tour the museum.
Viewing Cape Flattery requires an easy walk of about 3/4 of a mile each way. It should not be missed, so bring some comfortable walking shoes. An umbrella might be a good idea as well since you just never know!
