Nature
Eagle Point is a 6,247-foot summit on Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park, on the north-central side of Washington’s Olympic Mountains between Steeple Rock and Obstruction Peak. Water from its slopes drains into tributaries of the Elwha River and Morse Creek, reaching the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The mountain stands in a marine west coast climate shaped by Pacific weather systems that bring heavy precipitation, especially wet winter snow and significant avalanche danger, while summer often brings clearer skies. Eagle Point is composed of obducted clastic wedge material and oceanic crust, and its landscape was shaped by erosion and repeated Pleistocene glaciation.
