This afternoon, I drove out on the Makah Indian Reservation to hike out to Cape Flattery, the northwestern most point in the contiguous US. This trail is 1.5 miles round trip with 200 ft loss/gain. The trail descends in the beautiful forest.
From a view platform looking north from Cape Flattery, in the far distance is Vancouver Island, Canada.

view to the west: Tatoosh Island

From the cape we could hear the sea lions barking off on this rock to the north of Tatoosh Island. (zoom)
I spent about an hour at the cape, enjoying the view, watching sea lions (zoom) swim below and a variety of shore birds.
