As a hiking destination, the San Juan Islands of Washington and
their sister islands to the north offer scores of parks and
preserves, hundreds of miles of trails catering to hikers of all
levels, and year-round accessibility. Day Hiking: The San Juans and
Gulf Islands is divided into roughly four sections: Anacortes, for
many the gateway to the region; the San Juan Islands themselves,
including some key islands not served by Washington State Ferries;
Victoria, Canada, providing easy access to the Gulf Islands, as
well as other unique destinations; and the magical southern Gulf
Islands.

Author Craig Romano explores state parks, county parks, and
provincial parks as well as some municipal and regional parks. He
also features the recently established San Juan Islands National
Monument and the recently created Gulf Islands National Park
Reserve, spanning several of the southern Gulf Islands, both of
which are not yet familiar to many hikers. While the star
attractions are the ferry-accessed islands, Romano also features
several of the larger islands that don't have ferry service (e.g.,
Stuart Island) making this guide of interest to paddlers and
boaters who are looking for hikes too!
