Cape Flattery — Saturday, Sep. 20, 2025

Olympic Peninsula > Pacific Coast
View south

Trail in good condition. Ample parking as there are now what I believe are two new parking areas that should hold at least 20 additional cars maybe more. The hike wouldn't be as enjoyable if all the parking areas were full,  because the boardwalks are narrow and viewing stands are not big enough for large crowds. We arrived just before 5 PM and only a dozen cars.  The views and the sound of the waves was beautiful. Highly recommend this hike. Saw oyster catchers, brown pelicans, harlequin ducks on the rocky outcroppings to the south.  Many seals resting on the rocks just north of Tatoosh island.
