Title: Lake Ozette to Cape Alava
Post by: branches on November 28, 2016, 07:26:58 PM: My oldest daughter and I did a 3 day 2 night backpack trip to Cape Alava over the thanksgiving day weekend. We started at 9:00am thanksgiving morning and because of the wind and rain we took our time on the cedar board walk. We made a couple of stops on the way to take pictures but our cameras were fogging up from the weather. When we were within a half mile of the campsites we saw this 3pt buck.

The next day was broken clouds and sun and we hiked down to wedding rocks to check out the petroglyphs for the day. Day 3 was check out the beach by camp and then head out to the trailhead. Here are some pictures of our backpack trip.

It actually gets well used out there at times in the winter. Lots of the mountain hikes either close or are too difficult, so people head to the coast. The coastal campgrounds really empty out though.
