Hey everyone, I was thinking about planning a trip to Monte Cristo for this summer, and was wondering if anyone on here would be interested. It's not your typical 'industrial' type exploration, but I figured there might be some interest on here.

I have only been there once before, and didn't get a lot of time to look around since I walked the whole way. The road is gated and locked, but you can get bikes at least to the river crossing and further if you can carry or ride them over a foot log to get across the river.

The town itself is small and most of the buildings are falling/fallen down, but there are some interesting pieces of history like the small gauge railroad turntable which you can still push around. I would like to also go see some mines either in this area or other places in the Snohomish County area, so I will update you on plans here. One that just got me excited is this one, actually in King Co, but you take US2 to get to it; https://www.youtub...atch?v=AHy-UGT4sjs I was at the lake nearby with my dad last year and had no idea this was just up the hill!

Post here if interested in planning a possible overnight to Monte Cristo later in the summer, or day trips to the site or other places. The way to Monte Cristo is all paved, so no worries there, and I have a car which I don't mind taking on some of the rough roads that access other areas




"See you guys, you never listen to me. I said there was gonna be trouble but you didn't listen to me. You guys are crazy. You know, you guys are self destructive. There's a funny farm and it has your names written all over it. But I'm gettin' out of here. I'm... I smell ice cream!"

My boss was talking about organizing a hike up there with some of my coworkers since the weather is starting to improve. Hes been there several times but hes not an urban explorer by any means just likes to hike. I can ask him when he is thinking about going up again. Its definitely an all day hike though.
