Desc: The Boulder Cave Trail is less then 2 miles long round trip. The gravel trail runs along the edge of a deep ravine, climbing gradually through a forest of Douglas-fir and Ponderosa pine trees. Devil’s Creek flows through the bottom of the ravine, framed by trees and several species of broad leafed shrubs. In autumn, the golden tones of the leaves splash new color across the landscape, contrasting sharply with the evergreen forest. Approximately 400 feet from the cave, the trail narrows and descends to bring the visitor to the entrance. A flashlight is useful in the center portion of the cave. A visit to the cave is a cool treat on a warm summer day.

Trail: Cape Alava
National Park: Olympic National Park
Miles: 3.3 miles
Desc: Two trails to the coast begin at Lake Ozette, the Sand Point Trail and the Cape Alava Trail. These are both mostly flat with minial elevation gain. Both are nearly continuous wooded boardwalk (cedar plank walkways) through teeming coastal marsh and grasslands. Careful - Boards are slippery when wet, which is most of the time.
Both trails are 3 miles and require 3-5 hours and are easy strolls and lead to one of the most beautiful and promitive beaches on the coast (another 3 mile trail called the Cape Alava Trail to Sand Point Travelway).
Many people utilize all 3 trails and make a 9 mile triangle. The best method is to hike north to keep the ocean breeze at your back by taking the Sand Point Trail and then continue north along the beach and then back to Lake Ozette on the Cape Alava Trail. To complete the triangle. the tide must be low.
You will find dozens of Indian petroglyphs at Wedding Rocks, near the high tide line. Ask for the interpretive handout at the ranger station. Along the coast you will see marine life, Ozette Island, and Cape Alava, the most western point in the contiguous United States.
The northern point of the triangle trail is Cape Alava, with a rocky shore and reefs to explore at low tide. cape Alava is also the site of an ancient Makah village. The site is now closed and marked with a small sign. Be sure to check a tide table and carry the 10 essentials and lots of film, as seals, deer, eagles, perhaps osprey, otters, and whales may be there, rain or shine! Avoid vibramsolded shoes, as the cedar walkway can be slick!

Trail: Cascadia Marine
National Park: Washington Water Trails Association
Miles: 150 miles
Desc: From its inception ten years ago “the hidden path through Puget Sound” of Joel Rogers’ book “Watertrail” has captured the imagination of kayakers, canoeists, sailors, and rowers plying Pacific Northwest waters in Washington state. A National Millenium Trail, one of only sixteen trails considered large, visoionary projects of national signifigances at the turn of the century, this saltwater trail introduces modern explorers to historic and commercial coastal routes, in voyages of discovery along the shores of the native peoples’ Salish Sea. Orca, salmon, bald eagle, heron, puffin, side-by-side with trail users, feat on the bounty of lunar-pulled tidal currents and the rich contributuions of mountain-fed rivers
From an original 20 camping spots on sate lands, the number of campsites on the trail has more than doubled in its first decade, gathering trail partners within both county and city parks and local port districts. The vibrant trail community will add 20% more sites in the ooming year with volunteers, WCC crews, businesses, and kayak clubs lending a hand from the sheltered South Sound to the outer San Juan Islands.
The founders of the Cascadia Marine Trail and the non-profit Washington Wate Trail Association (WWTA), now in the eighties, continue to work to preserve natural shorelines in Puget Sound and across Washington state. Their tales of kayaking and sailing in the mid-twentieth century inspire the work of WWTA and its non-profit partners and kindle enthusiasm amonf newcomners to non-motorized recreational boat travel. They love to share some of the many stories that “Honor and reserve 5,000 years of marine travel” on the Cascasia Marine Trail.
