OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK — Hurricane Ridge Road reopened Sunday evening after a rockfall partly blocked the roadway and closed it temporarily.
One large rock and additional smaller ones blocked both lanes of the road to Hurricane Ridge at about 3 p.m., said Barb Maynes, spokeswoman for Olympic National Park.
Crews were able to clear one side of the road, allowing those who were on the Ridge to exit the park, but gates were closed for the uphill lane just above the Heart O’ the Hills entry station, Maynes said.
The road was reopened Sunday evening after road crews removed the rockfall and determined the area to be safe.
To check on updated road conditions, phone the hotline at 360-565-3131.
