Sea-to-Summit Conservation Victory
The San Juan Preservation Trust just completed a major land corridor protecting Mt. Ben West—connecting forest to shoreline in one of the island's most beautiful stretches. If you've been meaning to explore that corner of Orcas, today's the day: 59 degrees, calm winds, and we've got nearly 16 hours of daylight to burn. Stick around for golden hour at 8:05pm and you'll catch why they fought so hard to protect these views.
