Day 3 - Hikes Galore

First thing we did Wednesday morning, was drive out to La Push Beach - LaPush Baby !
It was pretty much deserted, and looked nothing like the movie...............because it wasn't filmed there !!
We decided to get a little adventurous.............This was a decal on a car we saw at a trail head that we stopped at on our way back towards FORKS from LaPush.   I had gotten out of the car, to check out just where the trail started, snapped this photo above, and then cam back to Cam and showed her, saying I had just purchased this permit, and we were going to look for BIG FOOT in the forest !  Haha, she was not amused....... She really didn't want to hike, but was a good sport and humored her Grandma. 
Beautiful path through the forest. 
Happy girl
Our path eventually wound its way down to SECOND (or was it THIRD) Beach.  
It appeared that you could only access this beach by the trail, because each end had sheer rock outcroppings. 
I really don't know for sure which beach we hiked to............... I think 2nd beach...........maybe......
Back to the mini house for a QUICK break, then  right back in the car............
We saw this at a little mini-mart, and HAD to grab a picture :)
We wound our way North for about 1 1/2 hours past Neah Bay, to Cape Flattery, which is the western most point of the continental United States.  Here we hiked again, but it was quite different, with much of the trail improved with boardwalks, bridges, etc.  I REALLY had to get this girl talked into THIS hike.  
The view did NOT disappoint.....
And let me tell you - HANGRY is a REAL THING !!  She was MUCH happier after having lunch :)
Apparently this POINT we were standing on, was atop a bunch of caves which were being eroded by the crashing waves.  That was a comforting thought - YIKES !
Come on Grandma  - time to head for home (FORKS)
