One of the roads ran along the Juan de Fuca Strait. All the way across there is Canada.
The minor road out to the parking area had an unusual warning.
The trail was mostly boardwalk. I couldn't believe anyone built a boardwalk this long.
The first part of the hike went through a forest with many ferns.
We saw lots and lots of fungi.
Straight out of Alice in Wonderland. This is a Blewit.
Eric took this fungi picture.
I think this is a slime mold, a very strange creature that behaves something like a plant and something like an animal.

I found the name of this fungus amuzing: the Turkey Tail.
I'm not entirely sure whether these are flowers or fungi, but I think they're fungi.
Eventually, the trail opened up into some meadows. Photo by Eric.
These look like conifer needles, but they're changing color like deciduous leaves. What's going on here?
Some ripening berries.

As we approached the beach, we saw some very tame deer.
We had to cross over a tiny bridge. Photo by Eric.

Eric at the westernmost point in the continental US, at least at a relatively high tide.
He took my picture there, too.
Coming back to the car, we saw a very tame bunny.
We got a look at lovely Ozette Lake, the primary attraction in the area.
On to the Hoh Rainforest.
