Mount Erie is a mountain in Skagit County, Washington. The park land is owned and operated by the city of Anacortes and is located in the south of the Anacortes Community Forest Lands. The mountain itself was first explored in the 1960s by local climbers, including Dallas Kloke.[citation needed] The mountain is known for its climbing as well as the view from the summit, accessible via a single-lane, paved road from the base.
At 1,273 feet (388 meters) tall, Mount Erie is the highest point on Fidalgo Island.
The band Mount Eerie, known as The Microphones before 2004, is named after this Northwestern location. Principal member singer/songwriter Phil Elvrum grew up in the area.
