Hurricane Ridge is just over 5,000 ft in elevation, about the same as Prescott. Hurricane Ridge had 36 feet of snow last winter, Prescott had (I guess) 12 inches. The flowers were plentiful, the air clear and blue. We were lucky to be able to see the entire range of mountains without the usual cloud cover. After wandering on Hurricane Hill, we drove over to Seattle, catching a ferry on the way. We ate dinner at Cedars, a nice Indian restaurant near the University. Dessert was at a local ice cream shop where everything is handmade. Capping off the trip, we saw the sun set on Mt. Rainier. We sure were lucky lucky lucky!
