These mountains will give you an uncrowded, overhead view of the Skagit Valley tulips
As the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival brings over 1 million visitors to its 300 acres of bright flowers each year, the family farms and fields can easily become crowded.
If you’re looking for an uncrowded view of the tulip fields, we have two scenic mountains that allow you to view the flowers from above.
Little Mountain
The Little Mountain overlook is about 20 minutes from the tulip fields and offers views of Skagit County from its 932-foot elevation gain. Visitors can drive up on the paved road to the top of the mountain, or hike various trails up the mountain. Little Mountain Park is open from 10 a.m. to dusk and is at 3000 Little Mountain Road in Mount Vernon.
Mount Erie
Mount Erie is about 25 minutes from the tulip fields and offers stunning views of the San Juan Islands, Skagit County and the tulip fields from afar. Visitors can drive up the 1,300-foot mountain on a paved road or hike up various trails. Mount Erie is open from 10 a.m. to dusk daily and is at Mount Erie Drive in Anacortes.
