Granite Falls, Washington

Monte Cristo was founded in 1893 after a gold and silver strike in 1889 and served by a railroad built to haul ore to Everett, but flooding, funding trouble and miscalculated ore ended production by about 1907. A later resort plan failed, and a lodge burned in 1983. A long, closed-road hike of about eight miles round trip reaches foundations and mining equipment, though structures are unstable and hidden shafts are possible.
Day hike off the Mountain Loop Highway; a Northwest Forest Pass is required for parking.
