- Hiked 8 miles in the rain to the ghost town of MoNte Cristo off of the mountain loop highway. This hike is so underrated, and is a must see for any local history buff. Easy trail, beautiful woods, mountain views, and a ghost town, what more do you need?!
Nice hike we where there in early 1980s drove all the way before the flood wiped out alot. The old cook house had a 8. Ft long are loner cook stove .thank you for the tag along 🇺🇸🤔
Looks alot different than when I was there in 1968. We could drive right into town then or cross the old railroad trestle above town. Our group found a big gold nugget under a rail tie in the justice mine.
You amaze me. You are a hiking machine. Trying to figure out how you can do 20 miles in a day. I think the reason you are always hiking solo is nobody can keep up with you. I’m an old man now but back in the 70’s before you were born you could drive all the way to the town before the bridge and road were washed out I think in the early 80’s. The hike at that time was to Gothic Basin where the actually mining for gold was done. The miners left behind a lot of equipment like pumps and cables all discarded in the 0:02 stream. Enjoy your videos much. Bring back old memories. Thanks
I love Washington. Thank you for the video.
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it
They quit mining for two reasons. One they couldn't keep the railroad in one piece because of constant washouts and the other was the amount of arsenic in the ore.
Hey don’t let your dogs drink from that the waters around monte are full of heavy metals and arsenic just an fyi. Great video
Most of the town was still there in 1968 but there was a mean old bastard that ran the town and wanted to charge us just for walking through it. The pelton wheel and generator were still in use then.
I took some people who moved here from Ohio out to this hike over the summer and I found your channel by searching for this hike. I love the channel you do a excellent job.
Thank you so much, that means a lot! So glad you enjoy the content
I found the coolest swirly rock up at Monte Cristo, weighs about 20 pounds. I carried it all the way home, it's the centerpiece of my rock collection.
Ahh……. Saw my old cabin.
It was the one past the old in straight across the bridge.
Have such great memories of the area and all of the great hikes out of there.
Great video! I first watched your video of Cascade Pass and Sahale Arm. I was thinking you would like Glacier Basin beyond Monte Cristo sometime. I is very beautiful as well. Keep hiking i will keep watching. It is nice to see the North Cascades anytime!
I love your channel, thank you !
Very cool
I live not far from that trail head never been up there lol nice video now I want to plan a trip up there myself.
Oh yes I highly recommend, such a fun place to explore!
I think you did a great job, "Enjoyed" Never been to Washington, Good luck with your videos, i think you have a knack!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed
Zowie, haven't been here in years. More houses gone through.
I designed and installed the signs
Interesting. Didn't know there was a Monte Cristo in Washington. Might go check it out.
I highly recommend it!
@@wanderingwashington please don't publicize it. Just kinda keep it for your favorite friends. Our grandparents were involved in keeping it up as much as this Earth First bunch of people who have made this oil and timber, depression.
Enjoy all you can until America becomes free of ignorant people we do respect if they ONLY KNEW AND Could know how we
The Homeless, of Pioneer Parents, still survive in urban GHETTOS, as smaller ranches begin to come back AGAIN AND AGAIN In the valleys and plains, as we make way for the new migration of wagons.

Nice video. I plan on going up this summer and camping as well.
Awesome, it would be an amazing place to camp!
Think about and we pray that people will AGAIN pack in fish, to other more easily reached lakes. 🙏
Check with our fabulous Usda Wildlife and fishy dept. But don't mention Monte.
It'sa kind of a shrine, of
RESPECT , NOT a Disneyland, ima Logger and we need to LOG MORE NOW ❗ BUT not so much, just as WE ALWAYS USED TO DO, we always ❤had a little trouble with the politics, USDA/USFS, but much depends EVEN now on the Local Rangers, and QUIET Careful Government moves to BUILD ROAD, That is the key to safe and sound management that pays the CREWS, SKOOLS, [State timber, private, can trade, and keep lakes and attractions EVENLY accessible so as to not get librarians murdered.
Funny, how people cannot figure out motives, when fish runs constantly are improving. Try the salmon in Lake Washington, or Sockeye that were never there in Lake wenachee, where Gates and Allen took out the only public boat dock, and privatized it like Clinton's administration did with Yosemite and others.

There are 2800 miles of just saltwater beaches in just Washington State.
Good video, but they were not old houses you had seen. Those are long gone. My cabin was the one with the signs. Not saying to say away, check it out all you want. It was built in 1926 for Garda Fogg, with remnants from the old town. If you ever see the door open, stop by!
Well just an F.Y.I. Ramon noodles hit the U.S. markets in 1970. Altho that might seem to be the olden days to some.
Geez, last few times I went there you could drive right into the town store (which I believed burned down)! Ah the GOOD OLD DAYS, when people didn't have to be bared from some places TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE THEIR "HISTORY!"
Good Lord, they make you WALK there now, and then the most outstanding buildings aren't there anymore? From what I see there's just a random collection of shacks left now. But of course I was there 60 years ago. The good stuff was still standing… historic buildings were much more interesting than the scattered remains you can visit now… why didn't the Park service keep it up? 🤦♀️😖🤦♀️ Are there no longer Office buildings and saloons etc. that you can go into? What a shame. Another piece of history lost…
Same story, different families. It's YOUR NEW🤠🤣🍦🎣🚸🦝🏰YOGI AND Boo boo PRIVATE, RESERVATIONS ONLY....
U.S.F.S. HAS NOT LOGGED NOR built much more than ha? Maybe a hundred miles or 50?

Thinking about doing this hike by myself tommorow
This is a difficult hike to attempt in the winter. Best of luck and be safe!
@@wanderingwashington Assumed so but I’m always up for a challenge, although it’ll definitely be a little messy haha. Thank you!
Donald Trump's grandfather owned the hotel
He didn't own the hotel. BUT... he did have a brothel. And I believe he was illegally selling other people's property 😂 Not positive, do your research. But funny if it's true
Chick has the most annoying voice ever.
But did ya see any ghosts though ?
