We decided we needed to visit this corner of the lower 48 states since we would be visiting the opposite corner of the country in March next year. So we drove to Cape Flattery on the Makah Indian Reservation, which is the furthest northwest corner of the lower 48 states. We have been to Homer Alaska, which is the furthest west you can drive on the American Continent when we did our Alaska Cruise a few years ago. Cape Flattery is not the most western point on the Lower 48 states, that is a few miles south of Cape Flattery, nor is it the furthest point north, that is in Maine, but it is the most Northwestern point. The trail down to the point of the Cape is wet, slippery and steep in places, but the views at the end are beautiful. We even took Etta with us! It’s been a while since we’ve been able to include her on hikes. We had to stop at the Reservation Museum to pick up a Recreation Pass to be able to drive to the Cape and hike the trail, but the nominal fee ($10) was worth the views! We then went to dinner at LDs Woodfired Grill for a dinner that was excellent. Our first good seafood since we arrived on the peninsula.
