Cape Flattery Trail

 

The Cape Flattery Trail will take you to the most northwestern part of the Continental United States. A new trail to Cape Flattery was constructed in 1996. The new trail now has a cedar plank boardwalk and observation decks to view the abundant sea life and sea caves. Tatoosh Island is also visable. On a good day you might be able to see gray whales, or orca whales just off shore. This is a easy and enjoyable 30 minute hike. It can be very cold and windy, even during summer, so bring a jacket.
