C is for Cape Flattery and just in time for ABC Wednesday. Thank you to Mrs. Nesbitt and to the ABC Team!
This is a photo heavy post but you don’t get out to the North Western most point in the contiguous United States every day!
You need to buy a $10.00 parking pass at any of several spots on the Makah Indian Reservation before you drive out to the Cape Flattery trail head.
Strollers and wheelchairs will not be able to manage this trail. It is an easy trail otherwise except for managing a lot of exposed tree roots.
There were a few nice viewing stations. The final one had a rope ladder 3-4 step climb to get to.
We enjoyed the walk/hike to these beach views.
We had a few days of some rainfall which our lawn and plants enjoyed. We are back in a sunnier pattern again.
So beautiful! When I saw your first few pictures, I thought I was on a trail in our corner, but when you got to the water’s edge…not my corner! What lovely views!!
What a delightful trail and such a wonderful view at the end, it’s a pity they couldn’t have made the pathway more disabled and stroller friendly, After all people go to admire the fauna and the scenery and not to look at a uneven wooden walkway,
Great photo shots too.
Best wishes,
Di,

Wow! Well worth the trek. I, however, would be a bit hesitant about the exposed tree roots since that’s how I broke my ankle the second time! lol Captivating photos!

So beautiful! This is exactly the kind of trail that hubby and I like to explore. Love that strange tree in the middle of the post.
Such beautiful views! Sounds like it was a nice little get-a-away!
A lovely locale!

What a beautiful place! Love the color of the water and the rocky shoreline.

Oh that is a lovely walk and your walk is rewarded with an awesome view.

Gorgeous scenery! It must have been so pleasant to break out of the woods (pleasant enough on their own) to the views of sea and boats and islands. I am looking at that path and those sliced log pavers very closely. They are giving me ideas.
Amazing sights there. Very well captured.
What can I say, but absolutely breath taking, I can only imagine how beautiful this was for you both! Thank you for sharing!
Blessings,
Sue
What beautiful views! I’d love hiking the trails there!

Love at how the trails are made of wood and tree stumps, thank you for the tour. Lots of pretty pictures too.
Wow! What a gorgeous place.
Cape Flattery Trail ends at the most northwesterly tip of the contiguous 48 states. View Tatoosh Island, the Pacific Ocean, grey whales, sea lions and more.
