Nothing like a stormy weekend on the coast. We decided to check out the northwesternmost part of the US. After a nice drive out to the Macah Reservation (very pretty along the water, lots of bald eagles) we purchased the required permit at Neah Bay (they are available in most stores apparently, cost $7) and followed signs to Cape Flattery. We stopped at a junction in the road where there was an obvious trailhead sign for Cape Flattery. The trail was very new, much of it was very nice boardwalk which was not even slipperry despite a steady rain. A short but lovely 1/2 walk (with several gorgeous overlooks alonf the way) lead to the literal end of the road... a cliff at least 500 ft over the ocean. Beautiful, powerful scenery. The ground was shaking at times from the heavy surf pounding in. A must see!
