Guemes Mountain Summit Views

The summit, at about 660 feet elevation, offers partial views from the northeast to the southwest. We spotted several of the San Juan Islands and parts of Fidalgo Island.

Guemes Mountain Trail Views

The well maintained trail is 2.6 miles, round trip, with an elevation gain of 610 feet. We hiked to the summit February 24.

The upper half of the trail had about two inches of snow.

The views along the trail were worth continuing up the slippery slope. The walking sticks provided at the trail head were a plus.

Guemes Island Resort

The resort is at the north end of the island and is a popular location for crabbing as well as sport fishing. Even on a winter weekend, with no crab nor fishing seasons open, it looked like all the cabins were occupied. No, this is not one of them.

Guemes Island Beach Treasure

While we found some human painted treasures on the beach, we also found some natural ones.

Guemes Island Rocks - Part Two

Someone provided little treasures for beach walkers to enjoy near the Guemes Island Resort.

Guemes Island Rocks - Part One

We saw this rock on the drive to our cabin on Guemes Island. How it got there is a mystery to me.
