Scout Troops 282 and 8282 recently embarked on an exciting hiking outing to Monte Cristo, an enchanting old mining ghost town nestled in the North Cascades. The scouts were captivated by the rich history of the area as they explored the remnants of the once-thriving community. Along the scenic trails, they learned about the challenges faced by miners and the natural beauty surrounding them. The journey was filled with laughter and adventure, as scouts shared stories, spotted wildlife, and discovered the importance of preserving local history. This outing not only offered a wonderful opportunity for fun and exploration but also deepened their appreciation for the outdoors and the stories of those who came before them.
