Mount Pilchuck State Park, situated in Granite Falls, WA, beckons visitors with its stunning alpine vistas from an elevation of 3,100 feet above sea level. The main draw is the 2.7-mile trail leading to the summit and a historic fire lookout, offering a challenging yet rewarding hike through diverse landscapes.

Adventure seekers can partake in activities like bird watching, hiking, and winter sports, immersing themselves in the breathtaking scenery featuring mountain views, seasonal wildflowers, and abundant wildlife. While the park provides a unique outdoor experience, visitors are reminded to adhere to park rules, plan for challenging terrain, and respect the natural environment during their exploration of Mount Pilchuck State Park.
