Sequim Daily Photo

A trip to this area is not complete without going to Hurricane Ridge.  It is located 17 miles south out of Port Angeles (which is about 15 miles from Sequim).  You’ll definitely need good brakes coming down because it’s a pretty steep, winding road down but it’s a beautiful place, so peaceful and lots to take in.  I’ve seen bear, deer and other animals on the drive there and back.

My husband took these photos yesterday.  We took a trip up in the fall too, you can see those pictures here. I’ll post some more tomorrow.

An area at the Dungeness Rec Area that looks like a good place to rest on a long walk, read a book and relax or watch the sunset over the mountains.

One of the things I love the most about Sequim is the view that you have when you are doing the most mundane of tasks like shopping or errand running.  It changes with the different seasons and the weather so you get all kinds of surprises and visuals.  Some days the mountains are “out” some days they aren’t.  It can be really brief too, I remember one day this week I was in town and I looked toward the water and the mountains were lit up in purple/pink hues and it was gorgeous.   A few minutes later it was gone.

I love days when you can see the mountains, it’s like a little random surprise.

The sun came out yesterday for a gorgeous (but cold!) day in Sequim after the snow.  When we drove down by the water last night, there was a purple glow in the sky and on the water and it was really pretty.  Everything is still frozen here.

We just finished up camping at the Dungeness Rec Area, we were there for almost two weeks.  This is a nice place to take in the view if you need a rest on your walk or to watch the sunset.
