I arrived to Orcas Island--"Gem of the San Juans"-- only moments ago, and had to share the beauty right away.
This island shot was taken from the Washington State Ferry enroute to Orcas Island from Friday Harbor where I enjoyed two days filled with kayaking, sight-seeing, and much more, which I'll write about soon.
For now, know that clean air and beauty is found everywhere in the San Juan Islands.
I'll have much more to say including photos but it's time to explore Pacific Northwest's paradise, beginning with Orca Island's Moran State Park known for waterfalls, 5 freshwater lakes, hiking trails, and one of the best views in the San Juan Islands at the top of Mount Constitution (2,409 feet).
I just adore life in the San Juan Islands! See you back here soon.
