  Reaching farther out into the cold waters of the North Pacific than any other mainland point in the lower 48 states, this byway follows the shoreline of a glacial fjord that connects Puget Sound to the Pacific Ocean. While you travel along the remote stretch of coastline with rugged cliffs and forests, watch as eagles search for food among inter-tidal rocks and gray whales feed in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Natural wonders that are rare and exciting events in other places of the world are everyday occurrences here.
