A 970.19-acre property along the Stillaguamish River, accessed via the Mountain Loop Highway east of Granite Falls.

Only minutes from the town of Granite Falls, Robe Canyon has the look and feel of somewhere much more remote. The return hike can be a challenge. Portions of the trail are inaccessible during the rainy season.
