Mystic Mountain is located 7 miles from Monroe midway between Monroe and Sultan off the Ben-Howard rd, on the south side of the Skykomish River. It is a beautiful country drive. Also please make sure and print out these directions; the map is only for reference as my community roads do not match the map or most GPS directions.
