Great stuff OrangeKX! Thanks for posting this, it will be an excellent resource for anyone looking for photo opportunities.
I live along the South Fork of the Stillaguamish River, a few miles downstream from Granite Falls, and also downstream from Big Four mountain and the Big Four Ice Caves. There are lots of trails for hiking and back country camping in the area, and trails established along the the old Monte Cristo railroad grade.
The Cascade Mountains are a fantastic place to hike and camp, and afford endless photographic opportunities.
