From snow-blanketed mountains to evergreen forests dripping with rain to ocean beaches pounded by winter storms waves, there are many ways to experience winter in Olympic National Park in Washington. Hurricane Ridge is the epicenter for snow and winter recreation, with opportunities for snowshoeing, cross-country and downhill skiing, snowboarding and tubing. Be sure to check conditions before you go, as heavy snows can lead to road closures. Photo by John Robinson (www.sharetheexperience.org).
