Byway Overview
Highway 112 ends at the border of the Makah lands and continues as Cape Flattery tribal road. The entire byway is within the traditional home of the Makah Tribal Nation. It begins as SR-112 and enters the Makah Reservation along the wild western edge of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Lush forests crowd isolated beaches, and the rhythm of the surf marks time. The Makah Nation has sustained itself with the bounty of these waters for generations, and Neah Bay remains a salmon fishing hot spot for commercial and recreational anglers.

Cape Flattery Viewpoint
Cape Flattery, the northwesternmost point of the contiguous United States, is without a doubt the crown jewel of this scenic byway. The viewpoint, accessible via a well-maintained trail, offers awesome views of the Pacific Ocean, Tatoosh Island, and the rugged coastline. As you stand on the cliff’s edge, you will see puffins, eagles, and other seabirds that call this area home, and witness the power of the ocean as waves crash against the rocks below.
