Klahhane Ridge (Switchback Route)

01/28/15

Lots of options to extend this into a longer hike once you get to the top of the ridge. Definitely start early if you're doing this during the summer as the hike up is on the south side of the ridge so expect to be baking in the sun on the way up if you start later in the day. Overall, a good workout and well-earned views of the Olympics to the south, Strait of Juan de Fuca and Dungeness Spit to the north, and, if you're lucky, views of the North Cascades and Baker to the east.
