Really awesome hike, the trail starts at Mountain Lake and it's steep from the start, there is a water source at 1.0 miles in. At 1.2 miles in there is a little side trip to Little Summit, worth it. After the initial steep climb the next 2.2 miles to the Tower at Mt. Constitution is relatively flat but you still gain a bit. It's a nice hike because you get views from the trail head, during the trail, and the peak.
Road to trail head is paved all the way.
No snow whatsoever in any part of this hike.
Getting to Orcas island is expensive though. For 1 sedan, driver, passenger, and dog (dog was free) it was $72 which includes the fare back to Anacortes. I did not make reservations for the ferry so avoid that and make a reservation so that you don't get stressed over whether you will make ferry you want or not.
