The San Juan Islands are bike iconic

Yes, Orcas Island is hilly, but the joys of the view are amazing. Check out Wildlife Cycles in Eastsound for all the bike care you will need.

The San Juan Islands are an iconic cycling destination. Orcas Island is hilly but a good place to start if for no other reason than you won't have to pay an additional ferry fare if you choose to ride San Juan and Lopez islands on the way back to Anacortes. Visit them in the opposite order and you'll need an additional ticket for each trip. Read more at www.tdn.com
