HURRICANE RIDGE Hurricane Ridge is an easily accessible mountain area with fantastic views and lots of hiking trails and sunset viewpoints, and you can even go sledding, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing in the winter months! During the springtime, wildflowers are everywhere!
CAPE FLATTERY Located where the Strait of Juan de Fuca joins the Pacific Ocean, Cape Flattery is a short hike that’s perfect for nature lovers, bird watching, and even a chance to see wildlife. It sits at the furthest northwest tip of the contiguous U.S., and it’s also known for its sunsets! Oh, and you can also check out Shi Shi Beach!
RUBY BEACH You’ve probably seen photos of the iconic Ruby Beach, with its lovely sun-bleached driftwood and unique rock formations that can make beautiful ceremony backdrop! Just south of where the Hoh River meets the Pacific Ocean, Ruby Beach offers beautiful moody beach vibes and you can even see some sea life among the tide pools!
LAKE CUSHMAN Lake Cushman is a beautiful alpine lake spot that offers paddling, cliff jumping, camping, and gorgeous green and blue mountain views! It’s a great spot for a weekend getaway!"Seattle wedding photographer"
