Mount Erie frames the skyline of Skagit County, known as one of the Anacortes area's most recognizable landmarks.
The mountain is believed to have been formed during the Jurassic Period and was named in modern times by members of the Wilkes Expedition in 1841. Since the 1960s, it has been a popular climbing spot in Washington State, offering stunning panoramic views of its surrounding areas from its summit. Its surrounding lands are operated as a city park by the City of Anacortes and are accessible by hikers throughout the year.
Visitors can climb a moderately-strenuous trail to the top of the summit or connect to the Sugarloaf Summit Trail halfway through the climb for additional panoramic views.
