Mount Townsend is a widely popular destination for good reason. This beautiful alpine turtleback summit surrounded by the Welch Peaks offers panoramic views of the San Juans to the north across the Straight, the Olympics to the west, and east across the Sound to the Cascades. In the spring, there are lots of rhododendrons and wildflowers in bloom. You can even see a few waterfalls tucked away in the old-growth forest.
