Fall is an excellent time for a weekend road trip to San Juan Island todeeply relax, totally unplug and wholly recharge. We here at the Bird Rock Hotel have compiled a list of our favorite Fall & Winter activities and are always available to help you plan them, so you can spend your time solely focused on being present.
It’s that time of the year, when the veil between the living and the spirits is said to be the thinnest, when we light fires and lanterns, wear masks and costumes to ward of the ghosts, when we remember our dead and our saints and plead with them to let us make it safely through another Winter.

If you have ever lived in a place with seasonal tourism you’ll know: the exhale after the high season is over, the giddiness of the first rain after the Summer, the gratefulness resulting from the earth's changing position in regard to the sun. We San Juan Islanders created a month-long celebration around this feeling and call it Savor the San Juans.
