We hit this up while chilling on the San Juan Islands, so the first thing one would have to do is make your way to Orca's Island. Not exactly a day trip from The 'Ho. Once we were on the island, getting to the State Park and our desired trailhead was pretty straight forward. There are options to make this a longer day, but we were at the mercy of typical PNW weather. Our route was short and straight forward with lots of giant trees and wonderful views of the sound. There was heavy cloud cover though, so no view of Mount Baker. Take time to walk to the top of the lookout tower and take in the history of it all. If you make your way out here and the weather totally sucks, don't fret. You can drive to the top.
Interesting facts: Mount Constitution is the Moran State Park highpoint, Orcas Island highpoint, San Juan Islands and San Juan County highpoint. Also the second highest mountain on an ocean island in the contiguous 48 states. Only Devils Peak in the Channel Islands of California is higher.
