Rock Field Trip for the Pitts SIG. Mt. Erie LOWER Parking Area Driving Directions: From I-5 northbound, take exit 226 and follow signs for Hwy 536 to Anacortes. Merge onto Highway 20. Stay on Hwy 20 veering left at a light when the other Hwy 20 goes right to Anacortes. At 1.7 miles after that, turn right onto Campbell Lake Road. At 1.6 more miles, trend right at the Lake Erie Grocery, onto Heart Lake Road. Parking for LOWER mountain is in a gravel pullout on the right hand side after .2 more miles. Parking at the upper parking lot is very limited so we'll meet at the lower parking lot and consolidate cars. To drive to the top we'll continue a bit further and turn right up Ray Auld Memorial Drive to the summit. Drive time: Approximately 1.5 hours from Seattle or Redmond. NO PARKING PASS IS REQUIRED. The park land is owned and operated by the city of Anacortes. Please be respectful of this climbing resource. Stay on trails, minimize erosion, be considerate of other park visitors and pack out all trash.
