Turtleback Mountain: Tour e Visite Guidate

Waldron Lookout, accessible via a spur trail at 1.5 miles up the northern trail. Turtleback Mountain is a wilderness-preservation success story. Recently the target of a development effort on Orcas Island, a popular weekend destination for people from Seattle, it was saved from that fate largely by the efforts of one man and his organization, Tim Seifert, executive director of the San Juan Preservation Trust. Thanks to their work, the mountain is now a wilderness area, in perpetuity. As a bonus, a network of trails is now available to allow hikers and sight-seers a chance to explore the mountain. The trails are beautiful and serene and not nearly as crowded as those on the more popular Mount Constitution, which sits on the other side of the island. There are just a few open viewpoints, such as this one, but they do pack a punch. Beyond that, the forest scenery is just fantastic.

North Beach Inn is a collection of super cool beach cabins from the '50's on Orcas Island's north shore. Cozy as heck -- fireplaces, sea views, full kitchens, modern baths, vintage furniture, the odd creaky bed and no wifi but with a hot toddy and feet up you notice little but the charm of the moody, island weather. Nightly: $145 and up. • northbeachinn.com • #OrcasIsland #SanJuanIslands #inns #vintage
