Cape Flattery Trail view

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!

Cape Flattery Lighthouse

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.

Come to Cape Flattery

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.

Ahhhh for LOVE

When my friend and I were hiking Sol Duc we saw this couple in wedding garb hiking the trail. I caught them at the Falls. I really liked this shot with her reaching out for him (right after her photographer had jus “fluffed” her dress)

If anyone knows who they are, I’d love to send them the photos.

Sol Duc Falls

Sol Duc Falls is only a 1.8 mile RT trail from the main parking lot. Not too much elevation climb. But then you are rewarded BIG TIME with a three horsetail falls with multiple view points. For this one I climbed out and down from the main trail.

Sol Duc has a hot springs and a lodge with little cabins for rent. It’s about 90 minutes from Sequim.
