Hike Mt Erie
Hiked Mt Erie with Mark. Mt. Erie is right outside of Anacortes, Wa. It’s not far, but it is fairly steep. We have cycled up this on our mountain bikes in the past - not easy. I easily got my heart rate into zone 4 for me. It’s about 1,000 feet up, and has a great view of both the Cascade mountains to the east and the Olympic mountains to the west. One of the things inbetween happens to be the Puget Sound. Mark and I have cycled all around these valleys and surrounding hills. It’s some of our favorite places to ride.
Here is the view from the top looking Southwest. The farthest land masses are islands in the Puget Sound:
Here is the view to the East. It’s Mt Baker. I haven’t cycled up it yet, but I did ride my motorcycle up there in the summer. Saw a bear cub next to the road. It was cool.

Beautiful pictures of your hike! My wife and I are planning to visit Seattle in February and I can’t wait to see the scenery in person!

I just love that Mt-Erie-1.jpg photo - looks like it could have been taken from a plane, rather than someone with their feet on the ground.
