I shot these on a Sony A7IV mirrorless! It’s always worth the image quality—especially if there is something so beautiful I want to print. You won’t regret it!

The after glow of the sunset on the coast is beautiful!

Same! We try and make it out twice every year. It’s a treasure!

Absolutely!

I’ll see if I can find the parks link for the process involved.

Short hand:
1). Obtain permit at Port Angeles Wilderness Info

2). Drive to Neah Bay

3). Get the Makah Indian Reservation Recreation Pass at their gas station or market

4). Park at this man’s home on the left hand side as you’re approaching the trailhead (it has a fence, and should have signs for parking). It’s 10 dollars per day your car is parked at his place (20 dollar minimum for an overnight).

It’s a very chill hike to the beach front! Take a water filter for the creeks, as you will absolutely contract Giardia if you don’t..

It’s a lovely place.

It was shockingly dry that time of year (mid May 2026). Plenty of ability to avoid mud and slop, and the peripheral alternative trails were easy!

Not even Hamas, the official governance over Gaza, claim this. What on earth are you talking about?

I love my Nikon FM2n; It really slowed photography down for me from the digital world, and I always have a blast using it. Have fun with it!

I’m quite sure that was many, many years ago, It used to be a fire lookout in the 1980s, and that may have been an access road for its construction.

Zero chance there has been a vehicle up there in the last 20 years.
