The campaign to save Turtleback mountain from development on Orcas Island has succeeded!    Based on an amazing $18.5M fundraising effort, this beautiful mountain of 1600 acres is now part of the San Juan island landbank.  This means it will be preserved as a public park with trails for all time.    As of writing, the mountain just opened for public access starting hiking trails only.  Longer terms there are plans to consider opening access for horses and mountain biking :-).

Details on the location and directions can be found at https://www.sjpt.org/pdf/driving_turtleback.pdf, a map is included below.
