Hurricane Hill

Hurricane Hill is a 5,757-foot (1,755 m) mountain summit located within Olympic National Park in Clallam County of Washington state.

It is part of the Olympic Mountains and is situated at the western end of Hurricane Ridge within the Daniel J. Evans Wilderness.

[4] During World War II, a 13' by 13' observation cabin was constructed at the top for the Aircraft Warning Service and was used by wildlife cinematographer Herb Crisler and his wife from 1942 to 1943.

As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks (orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snow.

[7] The relatively easy and popular hike gains approximately 750 feet of elevation and is snow-free from late June to October.

[10] There is also a six-mile trail on the west side which climbs up from the Elwha Valley and gains 5,100 feet of elevation.
