- Hike to Cape Alava (washingtonlandscape.blogspot.com)
Last week I had a couple of work adventures on the Olympic Peninsula. I was very prepared to get wet, but rain shadowing resulted in the first day being just light rain. The second day was outside the path of most of the rain. When I finished up I had just enough time to get over to Lake Ozette and take a hike to the ocean at Cape Alava.
- Cape Alava Loop Hike (OregonHikers.org)
The loop from the Ozette Trailhead to Sand Point and Cape Alava is one of the most popular hikes in the Olympic National Park and is especially crowded on summer weekends. You can complete the loop as a day hike or backpack to the coast, where you will need reservations to camp overnight between May 1st and September 30th. Two legs of this triangle are in damp coastal rain forest, while the middle leg takes in a scenic wilderness shore with numerous rugged sea stacks and islands off the beach.
