Nestled in the shadow of Mr. Pilchuck, bounded by the Stillaguamish and Pilchuck rivers, Granite Falls is that perfect stop-over before or after a mountain excursion.
This “Gateway to the Mountain Loop” is enhanced by turn-of-the-century architecture, unique businesses and eateries, and a distinct western foothills atmosphere.
Big Four Ice Caves, the ghost town of Monte Cristo, and over a dozen hiking trails are popular destinations, and only minutes from downtown Granite Falls along scenic Mountain Loop Highway. You can tour the town or tour “the Loop” on your cell phone or PC, enjoying narrated slide shows including “then and now” pictures of the sights along the way.
Oldest car show in the state, pre-Thanksgiving and pre-Easter Turkey Shoots, Easter egg hunts, Railroad (and school) Reunion Days, Christmas Tree lighting, active Senior Center, outstanding Boys and Girls Club, award-winning Historical Museum, downtown skate park and lake waterfront park, autumn city-wide “Night Out”, popular dog park, waterfall and fish ladder.
