Mountain Loop – 54 miles of breathtaking scenery and PhotoOps
hiking, fishing, history, Monte Cristo,PhotoOp
The Mountain Loop Highway is an incredible 54-mile driving experience between Granite Falls and Darrington, offering river, mountain, forest, and meadow views. The paved road follows the route of the Everett & Monte Cristo railroad from Granite Falls to Barlow Pass, where the railroad turned toward the mines in Monte Cristo, four miles distant. It is clear why the route became a major tourist attraction for access to hiking and fishing, even during the mining days. The well-maintained gravel portion, from Barlow Pass part way to Darrington, offers plenty of stopping places. Returning to Arlington along smooth Highway 530 provides another 24 miles of peaceful scenery, where you will be only four miles from I-5 or 11 miles from Granite Falls, should you choose to close the Loop.
