We were traveling around the peninsula and stopped briefly to purchase the permit for hiking to Cape Flattery and to Shi Shi Beach. The gentleman in the minimart was very helpful and friendly. The hiking trail out to Cape Flattery is also well maintained.

The Makah people are very friendly and welcoming. There are places to eat, a wonderful store with helpful staff, lodging, and a history museum. Not to mention Cape Flattery.

The Makah museum is well done and worth the stop. Interesting displays and very educational.

Even if Indian museums aren't on top of your list, see this one. It is impressive and beautifully and professionally executed.

Upon entering area we went to the museum that honor's the tribal lifestyle, weapons, housing, clothing, and crafts. Very well done; afterwords we went to the trail and hiked down to point; this was long, and down a large slope (in other words, you will have to come back up it). The views of ocean breathtaking and watching the waves... More
