We waited until around 1PM to drive the 5 minutes to wait in line for the ferry. All in all, San Juan Isoand is a cute place, but it is a bit expensive for the round trip ferry ride ($96) and for the camping ($40-60/night) with only a few places you can find to camp. It’s a crowded island and after taking to a couple of other travelers, they said this was the Disneyland of the islands. I can see that.
Well the ferry ride was nice. We went up to the passenger deck and watched the islands pass. We hoped to see some orcas but weren’t that lucky. We continued off the route and headed to North Cascades NP. We made it there about 6 PM and there were lots of campsites available so we registered for one online. I took the pups for a walk to the visitors center through a beautiful forest.
The next day we would be headed to Seattle to visit the Seattle location of the Klondike Gold Rush NHS.
here are a few other photos of the day.
