Visiting the San Juans brings a bit more excitement to your journey. Riding the ferry adds extra logistical challenges, but you truly do feel like you are getting away. These hikes are accessible during all seasons. We haven’t personally been on very many island hikes, but we expect to add a few each year. For a thorough list of all the hikes on the islands, including those that are accessible only by boat, check out Craig Romano’s Day Hiking: The San Juans and Gulf Islands. (You can read my review about the book here.)
