He also features the recent expansion of San Juan Island National Historic Park on San Juan Island and the recently created Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, spanning several of the southern Gulf Islands, both of which are not yet familiar to many hikers. While the star attractions are the ferry-accessed islands, Romano also features several of the larger islands that don\u2019t have ferry service (e.g., Stuart Island)\u2014\u2014making this guide of interest to paddlers and boaters who are looking for hikes too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key features of this guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>136 hikes (approximately 50% American, 50% Canadian locations)<\/li><li>Ferry travel tips<\/li><li>Car-camping recommendations<\/li><li>Border-crossing details<\/li><li>All distances and elevations in both English and metric units<\/li><li>Overview maps for both the San Juans and Gulf Islands<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mountaineers.org\/books\/books\/day-hiking-the-san-juans-gulf-islands\" style=\"border-radius:4px;background-color:#657336\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mountaineers Books<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/smile.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00MR2KCXE\/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i6\" style=\"border-radius:4px;background-color:#657336\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon.com<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day Hiking the San Juans and Gulf Islands &#8211;
