Hi Ron, glad you love the site. Monte Cristo is a great hike during the summer and oI still want to snow shoe it during the winter. Scanned slides would be great and I will upload them to the page – my email is toby@barnettassociates.net – are they from the past/present? Enjoy the sun!

Hello,

Love your website and especially your interest in Monte Cristo. My folks were part owners in early 1960’s. I have many fond memories of working in the lodge, renting cabins and the like. I do have a few slides I scanned of the place if you are interested.

Just drive to the paved end of the Mountain Loop Highway and follow the signs, across the river, and back onto the trail. Have to cross on tree bridges as last years storm took out the regular bridge.

Hi Martha, some interesting family history in Monte Cristo for you. Unfortanetly I do not have any details regarding the residents of the town but the Granite Falls Historical Museum may provide you with some answer, http://www.gfhistory.org/. I would think they would be the best place to start looking and I hope you find what you are looking for.
