You can see for miles and miles and . . .

Mount Young is located adjacent to British Camp.  (British Camp is a rare reminder of European settlement in the Northwest. In the mid 1800s, ownership of the territory was in dispute and both American and British forces occupied sections of the San Juan Islands. In 1872, peaceful arbitration resolved the territorial issue and the British abandoned the fort.  But that’s another story for another day.)

On a clear day such as today, hike to the summit and you can see for miles:  Victoria BC north to the rest of Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.  If you are really lucky, you can see the Olympic Pennisula (but not today).  This was our first hike up to the 700 foot summit is 3 years.  It was easier than I remember.
