"A fun half day trip. Took the north route from Squires Lake to the summit. Overall rating 6/10, great views of Mt. Baker from above Squires Lake and amazing view over the Skagit Valley from the ledge just below the summit" — MountainQuest • Nov 12, 2022
"A nice gradual climb through forest trails to a quiet peak over a lake. Overall rating 4/10, not a bad trail but a long hike for very few views, worth a visit if already on a hike up to Cedar Lake or Raptor Ridge" — MountainQuest • Aug 20, 2019
"My buddy and I spent the day hiking the Pacific Northwest Trail across the Chuckanuts. We took a quick detour to the summit of Anderson Mountain. We got a view of Mount Baker through the trees from the summit. " — Al-Rashid • Jan 14, 2018
"My buddy Paul and I decided to go for a 1 day traverse of the Chuckanuts. We followed the PNT for the first 20 miles up and over Anderson Mountain, then veered north as we made our way across Chuckanut Mountain. It came out to about 30 miles and 5800' of gain. " — Al-Rashid • Jan 6, 2018
"After realizing I've hiked and biked hundreds of miles since the last time I reached any kind of peak, I decided today was the day to change that. I got a late start but I'd been wanting to visit the Chuckanuts, so I decided to cruise up north and see if I could get a few little peaks in. I drove up to the Cyrus Gates Overlook and arrived just below the summit of Chuckanut Mountain around 4 in the afternoon. You have a fantastic view of the San Juan Islands from the overlook. The view from the summit just a tenth of a mile above the parking lot is not as great. You can get some peeks to the east through the trees, but nothing nearly as spectacular as the view from the overlook.
Next I took the Rock Trail down to the Lost Lake Trail. The rock trail is a fairly new trail that had a ton of work put into it. Switch backing down the steep southeastern slope, well over a hundred stairs take you to the connecting point with Lost Lake Trail. On the way you travel between boulders and along massive sandstone walls with various indentations, caves, and holes that make the wall look like swiss cheese in places. Much praise to the WTA crew that constructed this trail for everyone..." — Al-Rashid • Jul 26, 2014
