Celebrating Washington's legendary San Juan Islands and British Columbia's magical Gulf Islands, Craig Romano leads you on trails to secluded beaches, bays, and coves; magnificent old-growth forests; and rugged coastal ledges and bluffs with views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and--perhaps!--starfish, otters, and orcas. Whether you want to explore lesser-known but spectacular islands such as Mateo, Patos, and Princess Margaret or to visit old favorites including Orcas, San Juan, and Salt Spring, Day Hiking the San Juans and Gulf Islands has you covered.
