Come along with us as we take you on a abandoned mine exploration adventure going underground in the historic mining district of Monte Cristo Snohomish County Washington State. The Monte Cristo mines are some of the oldest mines in Washington State. This over 130 year old historic mine dates to the 1890's and is one of the oldest mines in the district.
Monte Cristo was the first live mining camp on the west slopes of the Cascade Range. There were 13 mines and 40 claims by 1891. By 1893 there were 211 mining claims.
This historic abandoned mine of the Monte Cristo mining district was staked in August of 1889, and recorded with the county auditor on September 25, 1889, this mine intersected the same vein as the famous Mystery Mines.
In 1890 many miners hiked to Monte Cristo from the south by way of Index, Galena, and Mineral City, crossing the divide at first via Willman's Pass and later via Poodle Dog Pass. In the fall of 1891, a narrow wagon road called the Willman's or Pioneer Trail was completed from Sauk City on the Skagit River to Monte Cristo, allowing access from the north.
