Turtleback Mountain Preserve is one of our favorite hiking spots! Be advised: if you don’t like walking up or down hills, this is not the hike for you 😊. At the same time, if you like walking up to stunning Orcas Island views, this is the hike for you! https://sjclandbank.org/turtleback-mountain-preserve-orcas-island/ You can start at the north or south trailhead. Ask Andy to tell you the best routes.
This was one of our first hiking ‘dates.’ It’s about as far out on the island as you can go. It’s a fairly gentle, relatively shorter hike to a lovely beach.
