Description

We should arrive at Lopez Island at 9:50 a.m. if the ferries are on schedule. While Lopez is considered the flattest of the three islands, there are still some hills, including the hill coming off of the ferry! We generally head into Lopez Village first (4.5 miles), then circle the island and end up there for a late lunch/dinner at the end (depending on the ferry schedule). Without the return to Lopez Village, the loop is around 30 miles. Other detours are to Otis Perkins Day Park, the peninsula outside Fisherman Bay, McArdle Bay, Mud Bay, Cape St. Mary, and Shoal Bight. Of course, we’ll want to check out the Just Heavenly Fudge Factory!
