The Strait of Juan de Fuca Highway, Washington's SR 112, runs 61 miles east-west along the strait's shoreline in Clallam County. It connects the Makah Indian Reservation near Neah Bay to US 101 close to Port Angeles. The route became a National Scenic Byway on June 15, 2000, tracing a shoreline carved by glaciers and shaped, eons earlier, beneath the sea, with the mountains of Vancouver Island visible across the water. The road passes through the ancestral and present-day homelands of the Klallam and Makah peoples, and offers regular chances to spot bald eagles diving, gray whales spouting offshore, and river otters working the tideline, alongside opportunities to fish for salmon, kayak the coast, or explore forest trails on foot or by bike. Remote and lightly trafficked compared with the peninsula's more famous US 101 loop, this stretch is one of the least-developed scenic drives on Washington's outer coast.
