Join us for the Harbor, Ports and Fort Tour on Saturday, Sep 19
This tour replaces the originally scheduled San Juan Islands from Sep 18-20. There were just too many logistical challenges for a large group over a weekend.
Join us for the Harbor, Ports, and Fort Tour. The tour begins in Gig Harbor at McDonalds in the Olympic Village Center. The tour roads are awesome and the views even more so through Mason, Kitsap, and Jefferson counties on the Olympic Peninsula.
The drive is based on the 2019 PNWR Womens Tour route, with some additional roads to cover once we cross the Hood Canal Bridge. We start the tour and drive some scenic roads through Wauna, Victor, and stop for a break at Belfair State Park.
Next up the tour proceeds through Holly and Crosby with some incredible views and a second break at the Chevron Station and Market on Newberry Hill Road.
Next up is a drive to Port Gamble where we will have our lunch break. Our lunch break will be 60 minutes in the quaint town of Port Gamble, a US National Historic Landmark. Port Gamble is one of the nation's best-preserved western lumber towns and the community has a wide range of shops from antiques to a tea shop to an old-fashioned general store.
As a special offer, the Port Townsend Marine Science Center has agreed to offer us a tour of their center and teach us about their mission and work for those that pick this option. They will be staying open one extra hour and ensuring that docents are available.
A Discover Pass is required for this tour.
