My first destination video!!!! More will be coming soon!

Pole Pass is a narrow pass on the SW side of Orcas island. From reading about it in the guidebooks I was always hesitant to try going through it. On my last trip I needed to get to Deer Harbor and decided to stop being a wimp and give it a try.

In the video you’ll get a sense of what Pole Pass is like, as well as tips and suggestions on going through it.

I encourage anyone who has been here to add their experiences, what they like about it, what they don’t like about it, cautions, hazards encountered, suggestions, etc. My hope is that this will become a useful resource for anyone thinking of visiting.
