Cape Flattery is the most Northwestern Part you can get to in the lower 48! You are right on the coast with dramatic coastlines, deep caves, beautiful blue waters, and wildlife.
The trail is 1.3 miles round trip with only 200 feet of elevation gain. It’s an easy hike with great rewards. Plus I think it’s kind of neat to literally be at the most Northwestern Part of the US.
Sitting on the ledge, enjoying the scenery!!!
When I went there, I got to see a Harbor Seal swimming around. There was also many birds just flying all around you.
The caves you get to see are right when you approach the coastline. There are lookout points to see the caves.
You can go out onto the point to be able to examine all around you. Makes for a great lunch spot!
Here is a link to the Washington Trails Association to learn more about the hike if you would like 🙂

Directions:
Cape Flattery is located in the Olympic Peninsula. It is northwest of Olympic National Park. You take highway 112 to get there and there are signs that will lead you all the way there. It is on reservation land but you are allowed to go.
Hope you enjoyed! Have a great day/night!!!

What did you do to get started with this whole traveling for a living thing? This is also my dream but I don’t know where to start. I assume you need enough money to get where you want to go and to have equipment and food. I’m just curious about how you got started. I would absolutely love to live my life traveling. That’s my true dream. By the way, I’m so happy go you that you were able to live your dream. Congratulations.
