Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
From up on Bell Hill you could see protection island and even Mt Baker faintly in the distance. Sequim doesn’t usually get much snow in town. But if you go up just 100 ft into the foothills (like the Bell Hill neighborhood) you’ll find snow.
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!
One of the many inlets at Cape Flattery trail.
Cape Flattery is only a 90 minute drive (on a VERY WINDING road) from Sequim.
I was trying as many different perspectives as I could get from the same spot on the bridge. This was as high as I could get (without tempting my fate and a visit from the docents). But I like how it shows the long, long trail.
This is the view of the Olympics straight across from me. It’s April and it is still snowing in the foothills. I usually have vegetable starts that are 4″ tall and I havent even started any this year. The nights are still 28-30 degrees. Come on Spring!
While chasing my Kingfisher about, I stopped to take some new photos of the Railroad Bridge since they have straightened the approach from the Audubon Center.
IF…you can get up Bell Hill in the winter with snow, you will be treated to beautiful views (it’s always beautiful- but extraordinary in winter)
Here you can see protection island and in the far distance a peak at Mt Baker.
