Lovely hiking
The hike from the School House museum to the turtlehead lookout took us 2-1/4 hours. It was about 5 miles. Beautiful, well managed trail. Tons of moss and ferns. The whole first mile was an ascending grade. Lovely view from the lookout.

Best Views on Island
While Mt Constitution gets all the love, the view from Orcas knob (AKA Turtlehead) I think are thebest on the Island. You gotta hike there and while not super hard, it is a bit of up and down, but terrain is solid so not technically difficult at all. Make sure you take the Turtlehead trail to the end, you will be rewarded

Nice hike on the South Trail
We did the South Trail that is close to Deer Harbor on Wild Rose Lane. It was a very nice hike with great views. We were there during the week on a Friday and saw very few people. We hiked up the main trail and did the loop back down on another trail.
