Route Description
State Route 112 (SR 112) begins at the Makah Indian Reservation boundary east of Neah Bay and the delta of the Sail River. The Strait of Juan de Fuca Highway, a National Scenic Byway, also starts at the boundary and is concurrent with the whole highway. Traveling southeast along the Strait of Juan de Fuca and a cliff to Hoko, the roadway crosses the Hoko River before the river empties into the strait. After the bridge, the road starts to turn southeast away from the coast to Sekiu, where SR 112 passes the Sekiu Airport and travel on a cliff near Clallam Bay and passes the community of the same name. At Clallam Bay, the roadway turns south along the Clallam River inland to intersect the northern terminus of SR 113, which travels south to Sappho. The road curves northeast from the intersection along the Pysht River to Pysht, where another turn places the highway stays southeastward along the strait. Approaching Port Angeles, SR 112 travels through plains past Joyce and the Lower Elwha Indian Reservation, the highway crosses the Elwha River on a deck arch bridge. After the bridge, the roadway had an estimated daily average of 5,400 motorists in 2007. The road and scenic byway end at an intersection with U.S. Route 101 (US 101) west of Port Angeles.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
