This is a beautiful area to visit, and it s the northwesternmost point of the contiguous United States which makes it like a bucket list place to see. We visited in October on a rainy/misty day, and it was still beautiful. If you plan to go here, make sure to stop at one of the gas stations in town (you ll see signs saying permits sold here ) to get a $20 permit that s good for that entire year (good for all of whatever year you purchased it, not twelve months from time of purchase). There s not a lot of parking, but I visited on a weekday early in the morning so there were only two other cars. There s also restrooms at the trail head, which was definitely a plus. The trail itself is relatively short with a little incline. Nothing too strenuous. There s also a decent amount of overlooks and benches. Also, there s also little to no cell phone service so remember how to get back to the town area or pre plan the drive route upon leaving so you know which way to go!

Short, but intense hike( returning uphill) - still Easy Rating, just take your hiking sticks if your uphill tolerance is not high. The view point worth driving long hours and hiking!Breathtaking views!One thing though - restrooms on the parking is a total mess: no paper of any kind and unbearable strong smell. Some people couldn t come in, gave up once opened the door and got the first few breaths.Required special permit - Recreation Makah Permit, $20 for 1-year permit, available to purchase at the entrance. Please note, this is different from WA Discover Pass.

Awesome experience- peaceful and well maintained. Well worth the short hike for the rewarding views. Plan on bringing a snack and water, or even a picnic. Also, no trash cans so plan to pack everything out as well.Trails are dog friendly, and keep then leashed for everyone's safety on the narrow boardwalks.Stop by the Sunsets West Coop in Clallum Bay on the way- Great sandwiches and coffee and really kind people running the place. Walking in, you'll be hungry with the delicious aroma. It's definitely worth a stop.

Don't let the WTA hiking reviews fool you. This is not a hike for everyone. The parking lot is packed and the trail starts out immediately going down a steep grade. Then it changes to very uneven ground using roots as stairs. from there you enter the boardwalk which is just barely wide enough for two people to pass and the boards are actually driftwood with gaps between them. The view is beautiful but if you have anyone with you who has trouble walking on uneven ground or climbing back up root and stone steps for 225ft you may want to find a drive up beach instead.

First - this place is awesome and worth the visit, but it can be busier than you'd expect in the summer or any weekend. As advertised, this is the northwest corner of the Lower 48 United States and offers spectacular views of the Pacific even on blustery days.Second - on the way here you'll want to stop at one of several convenience stores back in Neah Bay to purchase a Recreational Use Permit. You CANNOT use a Discovery Pass or any type of National Park pass here.Cape Flattery and the entire Makah Reservation was closed for roughly two years during the pandemic, but is now open for visitors.Beware: though it is one of the shorter hikes on the Peninsula, it is not the easiest, and it is narrow. I had some difficulty walking my dog on this path on my last visit, as other people also have dogs and there is very little "step-aside" room on the trail.There are several worthy vista points at the end of the trail. Definitely a must-see location on the Olympic Peninsula if you don't expect to be back for a long time, or if you expect to be near Neah Bay.Olympic Otter

We parked around 9am and there were less than 10 vehicles. When we returned in the afternoon, the parking lot was mostly filled. Probably a good idea to arrive early.

It's a small lot and gets crowded on good hiking days. Don't forget to purchase your permit at the museum!

Rating is for parking. There are quite limited parking spots but clear sign to the trailhead

Parking lot was crowded. There are spots designated for RVs and people with trailers but cars took most of those spots so you need to get there early to get a space if you are a large vehicle. There is an RV turnaround, which was nice to see.

It's hard to put in words the beauty of this park, awesome well worth the five and a half hours to get there. The views are breathtaking and the trails are very well maintained. I would recommend this park to all travelers.

Amazing view totally worth the trip down the trail. Walking stick would have been helpful, but ignored them when we entered. Trail looks nice to start, but it gets more challenging.

Know before you go,,,, The Makah tribe may have access restricted due to Covid-19. Access through Neah Bay was closed off over Memorial Day.

Access to Cape Flattery trailhead is closed for non residents (this is on Aug 4th 2021) due to COVID restrictions. Disappointed to know, I wish I would have known this way earlier. (Posting with average rating)

A bit tight when it is crowded, but there is a turn-around spot at the end if you are in a bigger vehicle (I made it there and back safely in a 26' Motorhome).

Plenty of spaces when we were there. Could be tight on a busy weekend. Bathrooms and plenty of posted information.
