2025 San Juan Islands Hiking Guide: Uncover Hidden Trails

What if your next hike didn’t just take you somewhere beautiful—but connected you to a story, a moment, and a deeper part of yourself?

Have you ever stood at a trailhead wondering if you’re prepared, if the path ahead is safe for your kids, or if you’ll miss something unforgettable simply because you didn’t know it was there? Have you ever felt like there must be more to hiking than just the steps you take?

San Juan Islands Hiking Guide 2025 is more than a trail map—it’s a living journey told in vivid, first-person narrative. Crafted by a hiker who has wandered every bluff, beach, and backcountry bend of the San Juans, this guide brings the islands to life in a way no GPS app ever could. Through each chapter, you’ll walk beside someone who’s been there, who’s camped through storms, watched orcas breach at dawn, and learned the rhythm of the islands step by step.

Inside, you’ll uncover:

The top 15 hikes that offer unforgettable views, wildlife encounters, and hidden gems.Seasonal strategies for navigating trails year-round.Kid-friendly and beginner-safe routes, plus tips for building confidence outdoors.Island-by-island trail breakdowns for Orcas, Lopez, San Juan, and Shaw.Camping, overnight adventures, and the art of wild yet responsible exploration.Real-world insights on trail stewardship and volunteering.Trusted resources, maps, and planning tools to keep you safe and inspired.

And yes—there’s one trail that isn’t widely known, one that transformed how I see the islands altogether. You’ll find it inside.

Worried you’re not “outdoorsy” enough? You don’t need to be. This guide meets you where you are—with empathy, humor, and hard-won trail wisdom. No fluff. Just real talk and real trails.

Perfect for solo adventurers, families, couples, and anyone ready to fall in love with the San Juans—this book also makes a thoughtful gift for the hiker in your life.

So go ahead—turn the page. Your next great adventure is waiting.
