I have not really been here before and I am not really up to date with the latest info on the shortest trail there or some of the precautions with headlands. I am only going for a overnight this weekend so unsure about Camping Fees Reservation fees Parking Fees. There is some info on the web but I am not sure if is current.
Thanks for any info anybody can give me - Thanks Kevin McNeal

Permits/passes: A $7 annual pass is required for recreation on Makah tribal land. (<<< that is for hiking on the tribal lands going to shi shi. Passes can be purchased in Neah Bay. Overnight campers at Shi Shi are required to have two permits from the National Park Service: a $5 per party backcountry permit and a $2 per night, per person, camping fee. The permits can be purchased at the Wilderness Information Center and Visitor Center in Port Angeles or the Olympic National Park Information Center.
