Description
Olympic National Park hopes to reopen the Hurricane Ridge area to visitors this summer after fire destroyed a day lodge last month.
However, access will look different than previous years, according to park officials. Changes could include limits on the number of vehicles that can visit the ridge each day and intermittent road closures to remove debris.
“We are working as fast as we can to get Hurricane Ridge open safely for visitors,” Park Superintendent Sula Jacobs said in a statement.
There is still “significant” work that needs to happen before the Hurricane Ridge area can reopen, according to park officials. The fire left behind potentially hazardous debris, and there’s a lack of water, electricity, and restrooms in the area. The park said it is working to figure out how to provide restrooms, manage parking and remove debris so the area can reopen.
