Orcas Island
![](/static/images/logos/site-logo.png)
The biggest island of the group. We drove up
Constitution
Mountain and visited the tower from which you can, on a clear
day, see Mount
Rainier, Canada and the Olympic Peninsula. We walked a couple of
miles down the
mountain to the twin lakes and back up again, more than enough
exercise for one
day. We had booked a table at the Inn at Ship Bay, having seen a
magnificent
orchard, herb and vegetable garden there earlier. The cycle ride
from the campsite
was a bit hilly. We enjoyed a tasting menu with different wines
for each
course. The food was fabulous, but the wine pairings were a
little bit hit and
miss. Certainly the best oysters we have ever eaten.
Seaplanes are the only other way to get to the islands. |
