Day 1 is full of natural wonder featuring tall trees, gushing waterfalls, and flowing rivers tucked at the foot of the Central Cascade Mountains. The Skykomish River Valley is not only home to some of the best outdoor recreation in Snohomish County, but it’s also a vibrant and growing hub for food, retail, and art.
Sky Valley: A true hidden gem offering a scenic region that’s home to the welcoming communities of Sultan, Gold Bar, Startup, Index, and Skykomish — each steeped in rich history and surrounded by breathtaking landscapes.
Day 2 finds you at the intersection of vintage charm and modern flair. Stroll redbrick downtown corridors, sprawling trails and parks, or catch an event at the fairgrounds. You might even see a hot air balloon or two. It doesn’t get any better.
Snohomish: As a modern city with a vintage vibe, there are always fresh hidden gems popping up across the city and redefining the old-meets-new aesthetic of this beloved river town.
Monroe: A crossroads where folks came together – a place where rivers converged, and railroads intersected. Today it’s the place where Highways 2 and 522 meet up – and with all there is to do, see, and taste, you’ll see why all roads lead to Monroe.
