Support for Mt. Grant

As a founder of the Hardy Hikers, a 20-year-old, year-round women’s hiking group on Orcas Island, I am extremely pleased to support the purchase and development of Mount Grant into a nature preserve. It will be a place where folks of all ages can go to enjoy the natural beauty and stunning views. It feels like you are on the top of the world when you are on the summit. And it is so accessible.

Twenty years ago I chose to make my home on Orcas Island because of the many hiking options there. With the addition of Turtleback Mountain, there are even more. I am now very pleased to see future trail opportunities on San Juan Island, and I look forward to spending more time experiencing hiking on this beautiful island. Hooray for Mount Grant.
