Robe Canyon Historic Trail Park, Historic railway trail park near Granite Falls, United States.
The 970-acre wilderness area contains a forest path leading through maple and alder trees to the Stillaguamish River and old railroad tunnels.
The Monte Cristo Railway operated through Robe Canyon from 1892, transporting gold and silver ore from the Cascade Mountains to Everett through six tunnels.
A Boy Scout troop established the current hiking path in the 1960s, transforming the abandoned railway into a recreational trail for future generations.
The trail extends 4.8 miles round trip with a 350-foot elevation gain, though current access stops at mile 1.1 due to landslides and safety concerns.
The original railway structures required constant repairs as floods from the Stillaguamish River repeatedly swept away the wooden frameworks built along the water.
