Mt St Helens

So much more to see and explore. Its all so beautiful. Greatly enjoyed our recent visit. Camping was great, water was perfect, the lower falls were gorgeous. Lots of fishing spots.

The visitors center was closed but the views were stunning! After taking pictures from the visitors center, we headed up to the Learning Center. The Learning Center has a gift shop with really nice things inside. The views by the Learning Center were breathtaking. There is also an area to see if you can see any elk. If you are visiting, definitely stop by here.

This is a great place for a hike — the trail is moderately easy and enjoyable. Along the way, you’ll pass beautiful wildflowers and walk through a scenic forest with tall, graceful trees. The air is incredibly fresh, making the hike even more refreshing. At the top, you’re rewarded with breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains and a serene lake. It’s the perfect spot to sit down, relax, and enjoy a peaceful picnic.

We were able to drive to the lehar site. It's crazy to think that all the trees, bushes, and all the life are relatively new at 40 yrs old. Great experience and a must do.

Believe in mother nature and her power to give life and takemit away. Road is paved but lots of sink holes keep aware.

Mt St Helen’s did not disappoint. We visited the south side which I haven’t been too since the mid 90’s 🙈 Johnston Ridge visitor center has been closed and will be for a while forcing us to head south and I am quite happy we did. We stop at the Lahar lookout, Lava Canyon trail, Ape Cave, Trail of Two Forests and dipped in Yale Lake on the way home.

I just love coming here!! 😊 It's more like 10 stars, in my opinion. Mount Saint Helens feels like you are on a different planet altogether! It has such a unique beauty to it that I have not found anywhere else. I also want to mention that every time I do come here, the roads along with the scenery are ever changing. I wonder if anyone else feels the same way? I find myself getting lost sometimes because of this. There is so much I have not yet seen here, as I don't get out this way as often as I'd like to. I did want to share the photos that I have taken so others can see how beautiful it truly is here. Please do keep this area in the excellent condition that you will find it in so that all who come here after you can enjoy the volcanic beauty that makes up Mount Saint Helens. 👍🏼

Beautiful area. The drive e has plenty of pillows to be able to take in the views. The day we went was good temperature and we were able to sot and enjoy a cup coffee on our tailgate with amazing views of Mt St Helens
