Neah Bay


I just got back from a 3 day fishing trip. We had excellent weather. I go every year for a week in June but decided to go back after the state increased our halibut catch per angler for the year.

Good little town. It’s a dry town though. Have to come prepared with everything you need.

Humpback whales were everywhere out in the ocean. They gave us a show several times over my time there this year. Pretty damn cool.

Just south of Cape Flattery




Tatoosh Island and Cape Flattery

Awesome review. Was trying to put this and Cascades in one trip but couldn't swing it, but this will definitely be a priority for next year.


N Cascades is less crowded, I prefer it to most lower 48 parks.

There are Hundreds of Hoh type rainforest hikes up the BC coast and across coastal AK which are less crowded and more spectacular.

One winter, I was camping in the Hoh over Christmas. Went down to a sandbar in the river with my dog who proceeded to jump in. He wasn’t being washed downstream, but the current was strong enough to keep him from swimming upstream back to the sandbar.

Jumped in, got him out, and had to hike back to the truck in cold wet clothes. All I had in my truck was some long John’s and a sweatshirt. Luckily, Kalaloch Lodge restaurant was open that night and got myself a nice Christmas dinner after almost experiencing hypothermia in the most casual attire for the day.

you've spent a lot of time in that area in your life?

Not the Hoh, but quite a bit in the Cascades/Selkirks.
