Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
These burrowing owls in Cape Coral live there year round. They are literally everywhere…in peoples yards…in EVERY soccer and baseball complex. Since they are only 9 inches tall at adulthood the city marks the burrows with PVC pipes so no one mows over them.
This was shot near Otter Rock. Next to this I shot hundreds of photos of Pelicans. But the hole in the wall finally pulled me away. I couldn’t get cany closer because the rocks were SOOOO SLIPPERY with that green algae you can see in the photo. After several falls I reminded myself I’m in my 60s and don’t recover as fast!
This is close to the end of the trail, just before you can view the island with the lighthouse (if it’s not fogged in). They have really nice platforms built for safe viewing. Weather is always very unpredictable here. This was my third trip here and my first time actually being able to see the lighthouse and the other side of most the inlets!
The Cape Flattery Light is a historic lighthouse structure located at the entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca near Neah Bay, Clallam County, in the U.S. state of Washington, within the Makah Indian Reservation.
In September 2009, a three-phase clean-up of Cape Flattery was completed by the Coast Guard. A thirty-foot skeletal light tower topped by a solar-powered LED light was installed on the island in 2008, allowing old generators and fuel tanks to be removed. The decommissioned Cape Flattery Lighthouse has been turned over to the Makah Indian Tribe, who controls the island.
One of the many inlets at Cape Flattery trail.
Cape Flattery is only a 90 minute drive (on a VERY WINDING road) from Sequim.
Just outside of Otter Rock. Was on an amazing van trip down the coast. My friend and I just pulled over to a lookout point, opened the side door and took this all in!
Cape flattery is on the Makah Reservation and is at the very NW tip of the state of Washington. It overlooks the old lighthouse on its own island. They have nice boardwalks for most of the trail. And stunning views which you’ll see later this week. You must have a $25 yearly (calendar) pass to enter the tribal lands.
