And don't think of the ferry as simply transportation. It's part of the adventure. As you leave Anacortes behind, the scenery opens up into the spectacular waters of the Salish Sea, with islands appearing around you. ✨Maple & Magic Tip If you're bringing your vehicle, plan your ferry reservation carefully, especially during the busy summer season. Ferry schedules and reservation requirements can change, so this is one part of your trip where a little advance planning can save you a lot of stress. This was the part that stressed me out the most, but let my stress help you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a1cea03a2f7064b0e5695ac/e243f642-cca0-4c81-a312-ce8f90326178/IMG_0481.jpeg Blog - Orcas Island, Washington: The Emerald Isle of the San Juans✨ - ️ Mount Constitution If there is one place you absolutely shouldn't skip on Orcas Island, it's Mount Constitution. Located within Moran State Park, Mount Constitution rises nearly 2,400 feet above sea level and offers some of the most spectacular views in the San Juan Islands. From the summit, you can see: Mountain peaks Forest-covered islands Sparkling waterways Canada on a clear day The incredible landscape of the Pacific Northwest You can hike to the summit—or drive if you're saving your energy for everything else on your itinerary. Our vote? Do both on different visits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a1cea03a2f7064b0e5695ac/bb9dd76e-3c41-428f-a9e4-c0c6edebc736/IMG_6314.JPEG Blog - Orcas Island, Washington: The Emerald Isle of the San Juans✨ - Explore Moran State Park Moran State Park is one of Orcas Island's biggest treasures. With thousands of acres of forests, lakes, waterfalls, and trails, it's the perfect place to experience the island's wild side. You can spend an entire day exploring—or simply choose a trail, pack a picnic, and enjoy a few quiet hours surrounded by nature. Things to do: Hiking Biking Paddling Photography Picnicking ️ Camping https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a1cea03a2f7064b0e5695ac/67a5f8ef-e16c-4b37-a54e-f487179ad473/Eastsound.jpg Blog - Orcas Island, Washington: The Emerald Isle of the San Juans✨ - ️ Spend Time in Eastsound Eventually, you'll want to slow down and explore Eastsound, the island's main village. This is where you'll find many of the island's shops, restaurants, galleries, bakeries, and coffee spots. Spend an afternoon wandering through town. Browse local artwork. Grab coffee. Pick up something handmade. And absolutely leave room for dessert. ✨ Maple & Magic Tip Don't plan every minute of your Eastsound visit. Some of the best island memories happen when you simply wander into a shop or café that wasn't on your itinerary. AND they have awesome candy shops with my favorite Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bears!!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a1cea03a2f7064b0e5695ac/1789432324656-P05CEET5PBGQRWI3PTCG/unsplash-image-GmlQv5_mf4M.jpg Blog - Orcas Island, Washington: The Emerald Isle of the San Juans✨ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.maplemagictravelco.com/blog/friday-harbor-washington-where-island-adventure-meets-pacific-northwest-magic monthly 0.5 2026-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a1cea03a2f7064b0e5695ac/1788456411354-T0E1FDCYCHTBVASFMA8X/Washington+State+Ferry Blog - Friday Harbor, Washington, Where Island Adventure Meets Pacific Northwest Magic - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.maplemagictravelco.com/blog/-the-ultimate-guide-to-olympic-national-park-oh-my monthly 0.5 2026-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a1cea03a2f7064b0e5695ac/b3b020b5-1372-491f-b93d-a343df7ef2a9/Hurricane+Ridge.jpg Blog - ️ The Ultimate Guide to Olympic National Park (OH MY) - Hurricane Ridge at Olympic National Park Rising to approximately 5,200 feet, Hurricane Ridge is one of the most accessible mountain destinations in Olympic National Park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a1cea03a2f7064b0e5695ac/2fbe2d5c-16ba-47a8-8f13-29dd5a8e9c6d/Hoh+Rain+Forest.jpg Blog - ️ The Ultimate Guide to Olympic National Park (OH MY) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a1cea03a2f7064b0e5695ac/35480081-0f3c-4287-ade0-a262eb36dc51/Hall+of+Mosses.jpg Blog - ️ The Ultimate Guide to Olympic National Park (OH MY) - Hall of Mosses This short loop is one of the most recognizable walks in Olympic National Park.
