Strait of Juan de Fuca Scenic Byway - Hwy 112

One of the nation's newest National Scenic Byways, it follows the shoreline of a glacial fjord that connects Puget Sound to the Pacific Ocean, separating the Olympic Peninsula from Vancouver Island, British Columbia. This dramatic stretch of coastline with rugged cliffs and forests, reaches farther into the cold waters of the North Pacific than any other mainland point in the lower 48 states. Eagles, otters and gray whales are common sights, depending on the time of year.

The winding coastal route is beautiful all year, changing with the seasons. Along the way are the colorful fishing villages of Clallam Bay and Sekiu, the historic Merrill & Ring Tree Farm at Pysht and Neah Bay, the principal town of the Makah Indian Reservation.
