Access Issue: COVID 19, Social Distancing and Parking Access Details

The City of Anacortes continues to work to maintain local access to its parks and forest lands. We are asking our user groups to practice all pandemic social distancing protocol. Please observe our trailhead parking limitations, which includes a 10 vehicle limit at the 247 Trailhead at the base of Mt. Erie. The summit road is currently closed to vehicles. Thank you for your patience and understanding. May, 2020

Description

This is the awesome overhanging orange and golden wall that sits above and right of the snag buttress.

Getting There

You can access by climbing to the top of the Snag Buttress, then up and right from there. You can also hike down from the top. Start hiking down as for Powerline Wall, but before you hit the power lines, head straight downhill. Follow a trail left through the woods and angle down grassy ledges to a big flat area with a 2 bolt anchor.
