Road trip from Forks WA to Cape Flattery, July 2017

Road trip to Cape Flattery from Forks WA

We drove over 150 miles today from Forks WA to Cape Flattery and touring some of the area around the Cape area. It is a beautiful drive to Cape Flattery from our spot in Forks WA. Again so many photos.

Cape Flatery, Olympic National Park, late July 2017

      We took a trip to Cape Flattery from the Riverview RV Park in Forks, a trip of about 50 miles. Cape Flattery is the most northwesterly point in the contiguous US. It is on the Olympic Peninsula where the Strait of Juan  de Fuca meets the Pacific Ocean.    
     The Neah Bay area is home to about 1600 Makah Indians. This is where the Cape Flattery trail lies. Cape Flattery Trail is about a half mile long with about a 200 foot drop. It is made up of dirt, boardwalks and stairs. Some in much needed repairs. The trail end sits on a overlook with a huge drop to the water below. Cape Flattery Light is on  Tahoosh Island. It is decommissioned. There are sea caves on both sides of the lookout.



Trail is a little rough

I see you My best side





Boy am I glad we arrived early.















     Sorry for all the pictures, just to many to choose from. We toured the Rain Forest from the Riverview RV Park in Forks WA. The moss hanging from the trees was just amazingly beautiful. We never experience such a forest. The forest is just so different that I hope the photos do it some justice.
