Drive from Port Angeles to Hurricane Ridge and you will pass through four biotic zones in less than an hour. As you rise in elevation, Lowland and Montane forests give way to Subalpine, and finally, Alpine meadows, each with their own beauty and unique species of plants.
From the highest road in the Park you can walk the trail down into flower-filled Badger Valley. Here one tends to saunter slowly and stop often. Innumerable species of wildflowers will vie for your attention. But save time to just sit beside a burbling stream and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of this classic meadowed fairyland.
