Cape Alava- Washington State Coast

This beautiful boardwalk leads over 3 miles to the ocean. It's an immediate transition from densely wooded forest to sand, salt and kelp beds.

This rock outcropping is only accessible at low tide. It's called Tskawahya Island or Cannonball Island and is extremely sacred to the Makah Indian Tribe. While you can walk out there, you are not permitted to walk onto the actual island. Instead, you can explore the rocky sea shore.

Petroglyphs at Wedding Rocks leave lasting haunts of years and years past.

"Rope assist" crossings are in several locations along the route where the coast decides that you can't pass on the beaches and rocks.

This friendly little sea lion kept a curious eye on us as we sat on the rocks above.

Seals and sea lions hang out on the rocks out beyond camp (often making a racket).
