Monte Cristo WA: Cascade mining ghost

BOTTLE DIGGING RESTRICTED DOCUMENTED

Where: West · North America · approx. 47.98, -121.39 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: Rockefeller-backed 1890s gold-silver camp deep in the Cascades, reached by a doomed railway, now a 4-mile walk-in ghost town

What turns up: eyes-only: railway turntable, cabin ruins, ore machinery, enamelware and glass scatter

Access: Restricted.

Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie NF land: ARPA protects the townsite and artifacts, look-only; a Superfund-related cleanup also covered arsenic tailings here, another reason not to dig
