We spent three days near Neah Bay (Chito Beach Resort). On the first day of our arrival we had enough time for the short trip to Cape Flattery. This has to be one of he most impressive maritime sceneries there is, especially in the early evening hours! A high clearance vehicle was very helpful on the latter part of the road to the Cape. Don't forget to obtain your visitors' permission for $7 at Washburn's store in Neah Bay. Second day: 9 mile Cape Alava - Sandpoint - triangle hike. To our great surprise no other hikers were to be seen on the entire ocean leg, but lots of Bald eagles and some very tame deer. We walked up to Tskawayah Island, which could be reached due to low tide. Third day: Shi Shi beach. Northern approach. The unfinshed second half of the trail (actually an old logging road)is still as muddy, swampy as described by almost everyone who walked on or through it. We stopped at the bluff overlooking Shi Shi beach, a tent colony visible below.
