| Description |
Despite what I wrote about Cape Flattery being the westernmost point of the Continental US, Cape Alava, about 15 miles to the south and a few hundred feet to the west, gets that honor. Reachable by a 3.2 mile trail from Lake Ozette, this beach has wildlife and only a few hikers or campers. It is inside the Olympic National Park. The island you see here is called Tskawahyah. At low tide you can walk out without getting your feet wet. This place is home to the Ozette Indian Reservation, a couple of square miles carved out of the national forest. There are no longer any Ozettes. The last inhabitant left in the 1940's. Ozettes are closely related to the Makah, who live a few miles to the north, around Neah Bay, and there may be some Makah families who still consider themselves Ozette. There is a legend among the Makah about a great landslide that occurred long ago and wiped out the Ozette village. A few decades ago, as the ocean eroded the shore around Cape Alava, remnants of this 500-year-old settlement appeared and an archeological dig was hastily arranged to claim as much as possible of what remained. |
