Hurricane Hill, Mountain summit in Olympic National Park, United States.
Hurricane Hill rises 5,757 feet above sea level, featuring a 1.6-mile paved trail that leads visitors through alpine meadows to panoramic mountain views.
The peak received its name in 1897 when prospector W. A. Hall climbed it during strong winds, replacing its original designation as Mount Eldridge.
The summit housed a World War II observation cabin where wildlife cinematographers Herb Crisler and his wife documented the surrounding wilderness from 1942 to 1943.
The trail gains 750 feet in elevation and remains snow-free between late June and October, with access beginning at the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center parking area.
The mountain supports over 125 plant species and provides a habitat for Olympic marmots, which exist exclusively in this mountain range.
