End of the Trail
Photo taken in 1989.
We hiked the short Cape Flattery Trail (about a mile) through mud and muck, uphill and downhill, over fallen trees, and beautiful ferns and moss covered trees and rocks. And we loved it!
Why?
Because this piece of land that we are standing on is the most northwesterly tip of the contiguous lower 48 States. The land behind us is a small island. Our Achievement is that we made it to the farthest west and north that can be gotten to in the US.
Yes, there is Alaska, Hawaii and Point Roberts, but you need a boat or plane to get to Hawaii and a boat plane or driving through Canada to get to Alaska and Point Roberts.
