Leaving Friday Harbour
   

This is the half way point around Orcas Island. We stopped at East Sound to pick up some lunch supplies and then headed onto Moran State Park
 

We found a secluded spot to lock up our bikes so we could hike up Mt. Constitution.

 

Across a bridge.....

.... up the garden path......


......around all the huge trees.....


.....a stop for lunch of course......
 


...check to make sure we're going the right way....


.....taking in the sights along the way....
   


......and at last we're here. The top of Mt. Constitution.

 
Panoramic from Vic  

A rest at Cascade Lake before heading back for the ferry.


Betty on the way back.
   
The hike up Mt. Constitution was certainly worth it. For those who feel they have legs of steel, the ride up will test your stamina. The switch backs were brutal. Hiking up is a nice alternative.
