This GeoXtreme aquisition was part of our U.S. NW trip focused on attending the OR12 HP Konvention. We landed in Portland in advance of the meet date then rental-car-rolled CW along the Pacific coast covering this site and Mt. St. Helens via Seattle.
Reaching Neah Bay fishing village via Rt112 and beyond bordered on rustic though super-scenic. Destination: Cape Flattery, a.k.a., The Point. The 3/4 mile trailhead had a nice parking area plus clean toilets. The trail itself was too-cool: a wonderful forested path much of which was a neat, well-maintained winding "boardwalk." Once arrived at The Point, we enjoyed a non-pariel view of the Pacific and it's rocky-gnarly edging. Follow Cape Flattery Road out of Neah Bay about 4 mi. to the traihead.
A tad below The Point is Cape Alava, the western-most point of the 48 contiguous. It's just slightly more west than CF. Reach Ozette, also, via Rt 112: turn left 5mi west of Seiki and follow Hoko Ozette Rd. 21 miles to the Cape Alava trailhead. This 3 mi trail, too, consists of boardwalks which lead to the Pacific coastline. Links: Cape Flattery ; Cape Alava Of course, Google for more info.
