KOA, Port Angeles, WA:  Decided to drive over to Neah Bay and Cape Flattery today.  This is the northwestern most point in the lower 48.  Took the Strait of Juan de Fuca scenic byway which is a beautiful drive that hugs the northern part of the peninsula on the Strait of Juan de Fuca.  The marine layer was an issue here and there, but pretty much nice and clear when it counted.  It took two hours to get over there because the road was twisty and turny which made the travel pretty slow.  Checked out Neah Bay and then continued west to Cape Flattery.  There’s a moderately strenuous but beautiful hiking trail to the cape but it’s well worth it for the stunning views. This area is part of the Makah Indian Reservation and is very well maintained.  After our hike we had a late lunch at the Warm House Restaurant in Neah Bay.  I drove back to give Mike a break.  60 today.  Now we’ve been to the northwestern most point in the US at Cape Flattery and Neah Bay; the eastern most point in Quoddy Head in Maine; and the southern most point in Key West, FL.  

Marine layer kept trying to creep in.

Cape Flattery--beautiful trail which starts out easy.

Lots of these narrow wooden walkways on the trail.

Beautiful sea caves.
