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.
