Barlow Pass (elevation 2,362 feet (720 m))[1] is a mountain pass on the west side of the Cascades in Washington on the Mountain Loop Highway between Silverton and Darrington.

It is a popular trail head for access to the old mining town of Monte Cristo and has a branch off to hike up to Gothic Basin, which is about a mile in.

The mining boom at Monte Cristo, starting in 1890, resulted in the need for access to the remote town.

That same year it was discovered that Monte Cristo could be accessed via the South Fork Stillaguamish River.
