TIP - Ferry Reservations: Several years ago on a long camping adventure with Peter and the kids, we discovered the hard way we could no longer easily drive in to any camping area and expect a site.  Reservations are needed, especially in the summer going up the popular coastal route.

In the process or preparing for this trip, I discovered ferry reservations can be tricky. Moun At least 3-4 different ferry lines operate in and around Puget Sound and the Inside Passage from two different countries (US and Canada) and three states/providences (WA, B.C., and Alaska).  It's confusing flipping between the various schedules and rates.

A good shortcut is to just ask Google Maps for directions how to get from point A to point B.  It'll direct to the correct ferry line and their docks.

However, Google won't make the reservations.  The ferry line website can be used to buy tickets online.
