WA Rte. 112
West of Clallam Bay, WA

Once you leave Lake Crescent behind, US 101 gets a bit boring.  All you pass are trees, trees, and more trees.  So take a detour back to the Strait of Juan de Fuca, up State Route 113, then 112, headed north and west.   You'll still have to drive through another half-hour or more of forest, but you'll eventually reach water again.

Strait of Juan de Fuca, Clallam Bay & Neah Bay

After you pass through Clallam Bay (we'll come back to this town, and its famous Running Fish statue later), you reach the Strait of Juan de Fuca.  There are plenty of places here to pull off the road and walk down to the water.

Some of these rocks were covered with graffiti, but some creative camerawork, and the lack of light from the quickly setting sun, helped me hide the spray paint scars.

Tip:

Use caution as you approach Neah Bay, the tiny town that's home to the Makah Indians.  The road has been poorly maintained.  As of September 2004, one lane of the twisty two lane road had completely washed away.  Road crews didn't rebuild the road, they just lowered the speed limit and put up a stop sign on each end of the wash-out.
