I have done the hike to Monte Cristo on old Mountain Loop Hwy in Washington. It is long but beautiful and would still be a great place to hole up and start over if ever a war. It is beautiful, hidden with an old mine and two raging freshwater mountain creeks surrounded by heavily timbered forest in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Original road in has been washed out several years back but new one could be made. Some buildings still stand and old cemetary above town is still there.
