near Lake Crescent
This is not a backdrop - it is the Olympic Mountains from Hurricane Ridge!
After driving on a very neglected gravel road (did we miss a turn?) and hiking almost a mile, we reached the view that made the effort worth it - Cape Flattery. This is the northwestern most point in the lower United States and it is absolutely beautiful. Mike & Zach are standing on a lookout featuring seastacks; the land in the picture below is Tatoosh Island. We have come to the end of our trip, it is getting late in the day and time to head home on road Carrie named "the road that wouldn't end". We'll have to save exploring the west side of the Olympics for another time!
