A
Walk on the Edge
Cape Flattery, WA
August 4, 2012
On a glorious,
warm and sunny Saturday we took a long ride to Cape
Flattery, the north-western tip of Washington and the northwesternmost
point of the contiguous United States. It's one of our favorite places
and we love the short hike out to the end of the Cape.

From
the ferry we admired the early morning Mount Rainier towering over Seattle. |
In the opposite
direction was the lovely Mount Baker in all its snowy glory.
Across the Hood
Canal floating bridge we drove, towards the Olympic Peninsula.
The
road towards Neah Bay winds along the edge of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. |
Several
eagles greeted us today along that roadway. |
Here's
our lunch spot, beside the Strait, looking west towards sea stacks and
Neah Bay.

Near the Makah Tribe
headquarters, a deer made sure he did NOT get his picture taken.
Off
we go to Cape Flattery. It was very crowded there on this beautiful day. |
The
boardwalk and trail were in great condition, and I was so glad I had my
hiking stick. |
Ooooh, the first lookout
tells us that the end is in sight.
