Anacortes Community Forest Lands - Mount Erie
Puget Sound and Islands
updated 1 month ago
The Anacortes Community Forest Lands at Mount Erie currently offer clear trails with no reported snow. The road is suitable for all vehicles and bugs are not an issue, according to a report from August 13. While the main viewpoints provide nice, close-up scenery, more distant features like the Olympics and Cascades were invisible on that date. However, a previously unnoticed concrete walkway to a north-facing lookout near the summit was discovered, though its view is becoming overgrown by trees. The Whistle Lake area saw a busy afternoon with swimmers and cliff jumpers on August 13.

Ventured to Erie hoping for a lowkey hike to counter the smoke and muggy weather. The air is smoky, skies are overcast, rolling clouds, but always fun to get out here.
