Day Seven (Friday)
Mount Constitution

Friday was a day with great weather - a day to explore the area around camp at Moran State Park. The troop hiked up to the top of Mount Constitution (2600 ft) which provided spectacular views of the entire Puget Sound area and Canada. After hiking down, the troop explored the lake area, swan, rented peddleboats and rowboats, slothed on the beach, and just had a great relaxing time.

Atop Mount Constitution was a stone watchtower build at the turn
of the century. It was used for recreation and for fire spotting.
The views from the tower were nothing short of spectacular.
