Mount Erie - Fidalgo Island

Looking northeast toward Fidalgo Bay RV Resort and the oil refinery beyond.
The highest point on Fidalgo Island is the parkland of Mount Erie at 1,273 feet.  Owned and operated by the City of Anacortes, the park is part of the Anacortes Community Forest Lands.  Only two miles as the crow flies from Fidalgo Bay RV Resort, the car trip to the top is an easy drive.  While there was still some haze in the air from all the forest fires, the views were still pretty spectacular.

Lake Erie in the foreground, and the east side of Whidbey Island to the right.

Looking northwest toward a ferry heading into Thatcher Pass between Blakely Island and Decatur Island.
Looking southwest toward Skyline, Rosario Strait behind.

It was a beautiful warm day when we visited.  Parking at the top was plentiful, and the walk to the various observations spots easy.
