Mount Erie, Mountain summit in Skagit County, Washington, US.
Mount Erie is a mountain on Fidalgo Island in Skagit County that rises roughly 1,270 feet (390 meters) above sea level. From the summit, you can see the San Juan Islands and the Olympic Mountains stretching across the horizon.
The Wilkes Expedition named the mountain in 1841 while exploring the Pacific Northwest coast. The name honors the Battle of Lake Erie from the War of 1812.
Local Indigenous communities maintained connections to Mount Erie's natural resources through generations, utilizing the mountain's strategic vantage points.
A single paved road winds to the summit, or you can hike on trails of varying difficulty. Parking and picnic areas at the top let you rest and enjoy the views.
The mountain is made of a hard rock called diorite that formed during the Jurassic period through volcanic activity. You can see this distinctive stone throughout the summit area, revealing layers of the region's deep past.
