Guemes Mountain - Island Highpoint Trail
This small mountain has big views, at least for now until the trees take the view. The trail was built in 2011 by the WTA to reach the bald summit protected by the Skagit Land Trust. Guemes Island has very few activates, so concurring the island highpoint is a must if you take the ferry over from Anacortes. Hiking is the only use for this trail.
