Highway 110 west route is approximately 15 miles to the Reservation and village of La Push. If you're lucky, this is the view of our island looking west from our school campus. It is an ancient burial ground reserved at that time for tribal members held in high esteem and important clan leaders. The La Push village is at the mouth of the Quileute River and bordered by the U.S. Olympic National Park and the Pacific Ocean. It takes about 4.25 driving hours to reach Seattle, 1.5 hours to Port Angeles, and 25 minutes to the nearest town of Forks.
Travel is measured in time rather than miles out here in the Far west.
Our beaches are favorite hang outs for hikers, beach combers, picnicing, weekend camping and just plain solitude for the weary city folk. Kayaking is a growing sport and many come throughout the year.
