In 1841, Mount Erie earned its name from the Battle of Lake Erie. Explored by daring local climbers in the 1960s, it's famed for both rock climbing and its summit's breathtaking views. As Fidalgo Island's highest point at 1,273 feet, on clear days, one can behold Mount Baker to the northeast, a distant 43 miles away, and the majestic Mount Rainier to the southeast, an awe-inspiring 117 miles off.
