Cape Flattery
Cape Flattery is the northwesternmost point of the contiguous United States. It is in Clallam County, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula, where the Strait of Juan de Fuca joins the Pacific Ocean. Wikipedia
Two years ago, when I was in this area, I chose not to come to Cape Flattery partly in frustration after the 2013 Government shutdown prevented me from seeing Olympic National Park. As it turns out it seems to have worked in my favor. This time around there was no shutdown (although it was highly possible again) and I got to make my first hike out to Cape Flattery with a someone-special, making it a much more enjoyable and memorable experience.
The work week was spent at Hobuck Beach Resort in Neah Bay with the only real outdoors activity being the 3/4 mile hike out and back.
