Byway Overview
This 41-mile trek is perfectly named because Washington’s coast is not always obvious—its bays and inlets mean you can’t just hop on the 101 and see the whole thing. Washington hides her treasures; but travelers who explore the Hidden Coast Scenic Byway will be well rewarded with moss-draped forests, prime storm watching and, between squalls, Pacific sunsets that are absolute perfection.
