Mount Constitution
The highest peak in the islands at 734 meters, with a stone lookout tower offering 360-degree views of the Salish Sea islands, Mount Baker, and Vancouver.
Mount Constitution is located within Moran State Park on Orcas Island. You can drive or bike up the winding road to the summit, or hike up from Mountain Lake or the waterfall trails. The stone observation tower on top, built in 1936, is styled after medieval castles. From the tower, you can see hundreds of islands, Vancouver to the north, and the snow-capped Mount Baker to the east. A state park pass is required. The mountain road has many sharp curves, and it may ice over and close in winter.
