Deception Pass & Orcas Island

Your Ultimate PNW Overland Adventure Starts Here

Forget the crowded hotels and the limitations of a standard rental car. The Pacific Northwest isn't meant to be seen through a window—it’s meant to be lived. With Seattle Overland, you’re not just renting a vehicle; you’re unlocking a fully equipped, off-grid home on wheels designed to take you where the pavement ends and the adventure begins.

Destination 1: Deception Pass State Park

Where the Forest Meets the Sound

Located just 90 minutes north of Seattle, Deception Pass is Washington’s most-visited state park for a reason. Imagine parking your Jeep at a cliffside campsite, popping the rooftop tent, and falling asleep to the sound of the swirling Salish Sea.

Must-Visit Spots

  • The Deception Pass Bridge: Park your Jeep and walk the span for a dizzying 180-foot drop view of the rushing currents below.

  • Rosario Beach & Tide Pools: Explore vibrant marine life during low tide or visit the "Maiden of Deception Pass" story pole.

  • West Beach: The perfect spot for a sunset tailgate with your Jeep’s built-in kitchen and awning.

Top Hiking Trails

  • Goose Rock (2.5 miles): A moderate climb to the highest point on Whidbey Island, offering 360-degree views of the Olympics and the San Juan Islands.

  • Lighthouse Point Loop (2.4 miles): Wind through rugged cliffs and hidden coves for a front-row seat to the bridge.

Destination 2: Orcas Island (San Juan Islands)

The Emerald Isle of the North

Drive your Jeep onto the Anacortes ferry and sail into the heart of the San Juans. Orcas Island is a rugged, horseshoe-shaped paradise perfect for high-clearance vehicles and outdoor enthusiasts.

Must-Visit Spots

  • Moran State Park: Over 5,000 acres of forest, five freshwater lakes, and miles of trails.

  • Mount Constitution: Drive to the highest point in the islands (2,409 feet). Use your Jeep’s power to reach the stone lookout tower for views stretching all the way to Canada.

  • Eastsound: A charming village for a mid-trip resupply of local coffee and artisan snacks.

Top Hiking Trails

  • Turtleback Mountain (Mountain Loop): A challenging trek that rewards you with sweeping views of the entire archipelago.

  • Cascade Falls: A short, lush walk to the tallest waterfall in the San Juan Islands.
