Best Mountain View: Hurricane Ridge, Olympic NP
Mule deer graze before the Olympic Mountains, 1996
I don't even think a panaramic camera will be able to capture the incredible mountain view from the top of Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park. Upon this open plain, you can scan an entire 180 degrees and see nothing but snow-capped mountains and deep valleys. All I could think of as I stood there was America the Beautiful and its "purple mountain majesty". This must be where they got it from! Even though none of the mountains are higher than 8000 feet in elevation, the sheer number of peaks crammed into this small peninsula is what makes it so impressive. You're also guaranteed to see numerous mule deer grazing along the plain who are totally oblivious of all human activity around them. Oh, and don't forget your lunch...the chipmunks are always hungry!
