2019 Summer Road Trip II (8/2/19)

I'm settled into Port Angeles, WA for a couple of days now. It's a good place. I went for an off-road motorcycle trip down a dirt road that led from the Olympic NF Visitor Center at Hurricane Pass, to a remote spot called Obstruction Point. I met another off-road rider in town who suggested this was a good ride. I took some pictures...

 As we traveled up the mountain, we passed through a drizzly, foggy section. Then we came into a sunlit area above the clouds. This is the view looking down on the cloud bank.

 Here's one of many pictures I made of the peaks to the north. I was concerned that the snow would have disappeared for the summer, but it survives.

 These vast valleys extend for miles. From the dirt road we followed, it was a 3500 foot drop down into the canyon. The wind was blowing out of the canyon and not towards it, which made me feel a bit safer. There were sections of the gravelly road that raised my heart rate considerably.

 Here's the camp in "Heart of the Hills" CG in the Olympic NF.
