About this map

Cape Alava and the westernmost edge of the continental United States define this coastal portion of Olympic National Park. The shoreline is a dense collection of seafaring landmarks, from the north at Point of Arches down to the petroglyph sites at Wedding Rocks. Inland, the landscape transitions from the salt spray of the Pacific Ocean to a complex network of coastal prairies and freshwater bodies, including Rooses Prairie, Ahlstroms Prairie, and the northern reaches of Ozette Lake.

The settlement of Ozette sits at the northern tip of the lake, serving as a hub for those navigating Hoko Ozette Rd or the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail. Evidence of the area's deep indigenous history is noted at the Indian Village near the cape. The hydrology is particularly intricate, with the Ozette River and numerous creeks like Seafield Cr and Umbrella Cr draining the timbered slopes of the Olympic Mountains into the sea.
