We explored a variety of sites with our first full day in La Conner, Washington. First, we walked to Pioneer Park, which had a short trail with somewhat of an overlook of La Conner.
The park trail descended close to the road across the Rainbow Bridge, so we walked across and explored some of the area in the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community.

We returned over the Rainbow Bridge back to La Conner and walked through the La Conner Waterfront Park before heading back into the town center.

Back in the town center, we headed down 1st Street, the street that runs along the waterfront with much of the retail and restaurant business, to visit the Museum of Northwest Art (MoNA). The MoNA has a permanent collection of more than 2,400 artworks that showcase the rich artistic history of the Northwest. Admission was free.

We then climbed some stairs for an overlook of 1st Street and the channel before returning to the hotel.
This afternoon, we’re headed to the small community of Mount Vernon to check out what’s on offer there.
