The new Hood Canal Bridge
In case you're not aware, it takes quite a long time to get to Neah Bay and Cape Flattery. We first had to go through Clallam Bay and Seiku. We discovered that the only thing in Seiku is fishing. There were HUNDREDS boats and RVs all over this one-street town. We saw quite a few people walking down the road with 1-4 salmon a piece.
After driving through, we continued on to the Makah Reservation and Neah Bay. We had printed some directions to the Cape Trail, which is maintained by the Makah tribe. It was also recently "renovated," with some boardwalks, viewing platforms and a more recognizable trail. It was a VERY nice hike out to the Cape.
I could literally post hundreds of pictures from the hike and the "end of the trail," but instead I've put a select few into a collage for your viewing pleasure.

Here are some pictures of us at the edge!
The weather was perfect, as you can see, and the view was gorgeous. I actually stood pretty close to the edge (see the last picture), but Tim refused to get that close. :-)
After we hiked back to the car, we headed towards the 101 by way of the 112 or the Strait of Juan de Fuca Scenic Byway. We stopped along the way to take some roadside pictures.
We found a beach called "Shipwreck Cove"
Finally, we made it back to Port Angeles and enjoyed a dinner at The Downrigger. It was right next to the Victoria ferry terminal and we got to watch an evening ferry depart.
By the time we got home tonight, Tim was P-O-O-P-E-D. He tried to go to bed as soon as we walked in the door.
