Before we even moved to Washington... Austin [my partner] wanted to go to the ocean. He had this internal need to see the Pacific. I understand this internal need. Before moving to this state, I also had this intense desire to go to Montana! I don't know why, but it has been there my whole life.
We did not plan on going to the ocean - but we love adventures!
The alarm had been set at 5:30 AM. The day had started with Austin, Smooshy, Pumpkin, and I headed to Madison Falls in Olympic National Park; a 3 1/2 hour drive from Seattle, WA. All we had shared were 2 cliff bars and we each had caffeines of varieties. We all had a great time experiencing the waterfall, the Elwha River, and this cool trail!
As we were headed back to the car, we noticed, Forks, Washington was only an hour away! How could we pass up the opportunity to go to the diner there? Only - I misunderstood the search results??? and the restaurant in the Twilight movie was filmed in Oregon... not, Washington lol.
WE WERE STARVING AND DID NOT KNOW THIS. Nor, would we care once we did arrive.
Well, we headed for Twilight cafe - and it said Forks was 20 miles away. Just as one sign said this, another said, Northwest Coast.
I felt something inside tell me, this is going to take you to the ocean. It isn't going to take you to food, but it will take you to what Austin has been dreaming of. Without saying anything to him, I make a sharp right. Austin looks at me confused and skeptical... makes sense, we are so close to Forks, so close to food, he didn't see the sign, he didn't understand...
I told him, I saw a sign that said, 'Northwest Coast' and I have this feeling it will take us to the ocean... which is something you have been wanting for so long... so let's try it! It said like 16 miles... if it is further than that, we can turn around.
16 miles go by... and we are confused. We do not have service - and we are both trying to ignore our hunger.
We drive for more than 16 miles until we come across one sign. The sign is to the left of me and it has some arrows to Neah and Clallam Bay... Just enough hope to keep going. We didn't know then, but we were driving along the beautiful Strait of Juan de Fuca HWY.
We never got to use our GPS - only our intuition.

Olympic National Park Washing ton State Beach Hike Day Two
Beach Hike From Rialto past Cape Johnson Olympic National Park Washington State
Olympic National Park is located in the U.S. state of Washington, in the Olympic Peninsula. The park can be divided into three basic regions: the Pacific coastline, the Olympic Mountains, and the temperate rainforest. U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt originally created Olympic National Monument in 1909 and after Congress voted to authorize a redesignation to National Park status, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the legislation in 1938. In 1976, Olympic National Park became an International Biosphere Reserve, and in 1981 it was designated a World Heritage Site. In 1988, almost all of the Olympic Peninsula was designated as the Olympic Wilderness, further enhancing the protection of the region.
The coastal portion of the park is a rugged, sandy beach along with a strip of adjacent forest. It is 73 miles (117 km) long but just a few miles wide, with native communities at the mouths of two rivers. The Hoh River has the Hoh people and at the town of La Push at the mouth of the Quileute River live the Quileute. [1]
The beach has unbroken stretches of wilderness ranging from 10 to 20 miles (16 km to 32 km). While some beaches are primarily sand, others are covered with heavy rock and very large boulders. Bushy overgrowth, slippery footing, tides and misty rain forest weather all hinder foot travel. (Times to hike should typically be doubled.) The coastal strip is more readily accessible than the interior of the Olympics; due to the difficult terrain, very few backpackers venture beyond casual day-hiking distances.

The most popular piece of the coastal strip is the 9-mile (14 km) Ozette Loop. The Park Service runs a registration and reservation program to control usage levels of this area. From the trailhead at Lake Ozette, a 3-mile (4.8 km) leg of the trail is a boardwalk-enhanced path through near primal coastal cedar swamp. Arriving at the ocean, it is a 3-mile walk supplemented by headland trails for high tides. This area has traditionally been favored by the Makah from Neah Bay. The third 3-mile leg is enabled by a boardwalk which has enhanced the loop's popularity.
There are thick groves of trees adjacent to the sand, which results in chunks of timber from fallen trees on the beach. The mostly unaltered Hoh River, toward the south end of the park, discharges large amounts of naturally eroded timber and other drift, which moves north, enriching the beaches. The removal of driftwood - logs, dead-heads, tops and root-wads from streams and beaches was a major domestication measure across North America. Even today driftwood deposits form a commanding presence, biologically as well as visually, giving a taste of the original condition of the beach viewable to some extent in early photos. Drift-material often comes from a considerable distance; the Columbia River formerly contributed huge amounts to the Northwest Pacific coasts.
The smaller coastal portion of the park is separated from the larger, inland portion. President Franklin D. Roosevelt originally had supported connecting them with a continuous strip of park land.
La Push is a small unincorporated community in Clallam County, Washington, United States. It is home to the Quileute Native American tribe and is located along the Quileute River. La Push is known for its surfing and whale-watching, as well as natural beauty. One of the main attractions of La Push is the Ocean Park Resort along James Beach.[citation needed] It is also a tourist attraction for many fans of the book series Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, as a large part of the series is located in La Push.
The name La Push is an infusion of the French la bouche, meaning mouth, into Chinook Jargon. It describes the town's location at the mouth of the river.[1]
La Push is home to the westernmost ZIP Code in the Contiguous United States, 98350.
