2017 Map of Verlot

About this map

Verlot and Robe serve as small mountain outposts along the South Fork Stillaguamish River, situated where the Mountain Loop Hwy provides access to the transition between the Mount Baker National Forest and the Snoqualmie National Forest. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the steep slopes of Mt Pilchuck and Green Mtn, with numerous alpine water bodies such as Heather Lake, Lake Twenty-two, and the remote Bathtub Lakes tucked into the ridges. The presence of the Monte Cristo Grade Rd following the river valley highlights the historical transport routes used for early 20th-century resource extraction and recreation. Below the granite peaks, the drainage network of the Pilchuck River and Canyon Creek carves through the forest, revealing a terrain that has long drawn foresters and outdoorsmen to the North Cascades region.
