Road Trip - Obstruction Point Road

No car shows for me this past Saturday, just a relaxing drive along eight miles of the most spectacular scenery in the state of Washington. I visit Olympic National Park every year but it has been around 15 years since I have made my way to Obstruction Point. I think this is one of the most accessible high elevation dirt roads in the Pacific Northwest. Starting at Hurricane Ridge at around 5,200 feet and crossing a beautiful sub-alpine ridge, it reaches an elevation of 6,100 feet at the Obstruction Point trail head. Love this place. It still feels a bit wild.

I bet most people simply miss the entrance. That is the ridge in the distance.
