Sunset at North Head Lighthouse, WA
Within the Cape Disappointment State Park in Washington State, the North Head Lighthouse is a half-mile short hike from the parking lot. Personally, I would say it is one of the most beautiful lighthouses in Washington State. There is another lighthouse, Cape Disappointment Lighthouse near the coast guard base on the columbia river, which is only about two miles away, but it doesn't stand a chance in front of this one. After all, this is the one overwatching the mighty Pacific Ocean.
Cape Disappointment was actually the west end of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. When they traveled down the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean, the weather was constantly bad, quite a Pacific Northwest weather. Perhaps they were expecting a sunny day which they could spend on a beach. Sorry guys, this is California... :)
