Constitution ## Visit Mt. Constitution Activities [Eastsound travel guide](https://expedia.co.uk/Eastsound.dx1164) --- --- #### Hike to the summit of the Orcas Island’s tallest peak for panoramic views of the Olympic Mountains and Vancouver Island. Located on the eastern side of Orcas Island is Mt. Constitution, the tallest peak in the San Juan Islands archipelago. It stands in Moran State Park, a large recreational and camping park with over 30 miles (48 kilometers) of hiking trails plus lakes and waterfalls. Follow the trails to the summit of the mountain for panoramic views of nearby mountains and islands, to spot abundant wildlife and to cool off at waterfalls and swimming holes. If you are feeling energetic, put on your hiking boots and follow the trail to the 2,409-feet (734-meter) high summit. After following a shaded forest trail, you’ll cross an open alpine meadow. Keep an eye out for wildlife, such as rabbits and squirrels, deer and otters. Listen for the sounds of the hummingbird and woodpecker or see if you can spot eagles and ospreys circling above the treetops. On the summit, enjoy the panoramic views of Orcas Island and the San Juan Islands archipelago. On a clear day you can see as far as the snow-capped Mount Baker, the Olympic Mountains and Vancouver Island. Rest a while at one of the picnic tables and then climb to the top of the medieval-style watchtower. Visit the Summit Learning Center to find displays on Mt. Constitution’s natural and human history. The center is open from May to September. Those looking for a less vigorous walk can follow the trails further down the mountain. An easy trail leads around Mountain Lake, where you can stop at various points for a swim. Other trails lead south to Cascade Falls and north to Twin Lakes. In addition to the hiking trails, there is a paved road all the way to the top, so you can also arrange to be driven to the mountain summit and then walk down. Find a map and descriptions of the trails on the park’s official website, named Friends of Moran. Mt. Constitution is a 20-minute drive south from Eastsound and a 10-minute drive north from Olga. There is a fee for those entering Moran State Park with a vehicle. ### Popular places to visit ![Orcas Island showing a lake or waterhole and landscape views](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635919601077/e9e11bd5-8682-419d-8d6c-793c6f0d39cc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Cascade Lake Relax on the beach of this picturesque lake, swim and kayak in the calm water and follow hiking trails to viewpoints and a waterfall.

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.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621551374329/a3f5dfec-0e3b-46bd-a47e-83d10c88180c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Turtleback Mountain Commune with nature and explore the great outdoors at Turtleback Mountain during your travels in Eastsound.
