A Washington Icon! Everyone knows the story, but to really understand the damage, even 40 years later, you have to visit for yourself. I highly recommend the Ape Canyon Trail, it snakes along the mudflow from the eruption along the SE side of the mountain.
One of the very best places you could ever visit. The mountain is so different depending on which side you explore. So much history from the most active volcano in the Cascades.
Yesterday, we did a private hike with guide Eileen Kiely up to the Crater Glacier Overlook. What an awesome day we had! Not only were we fortunate enough to have the perfect weather, but the wildflowers were in full bloom; the views of Mount St. Helens National Monument (including the crater, Spirit Lake and the expansive pumice plain), Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams were absolutely stellar; and the overall experience to be in the crater itself was one I will never forget. I highly recommend this hike!
I recently did the Awesome Hike and it's very appropriately named… it was AWESOME! It was a great hike and I learned so much more about the history of the mountain and the eruption. This was my second time to hike with the MSHI guides (the first being the Summit Climb) and once again, it was a great experience! The guides’ knowledge, their friendliness, the pace, the accommodations made for individual needs.... all of it… they were AMAZING! The guides are there to ensure you have the best experience possible and a successful one too! While you’re enjoying the hike/climb, you’re also getting an education. I can’t say enough positive things about these guided hikes and climbs. I just signed up for another one in September - the Glacier Overlook Hike – and I’ll definitely be looking for more in the future!
Recently participated in a hike into the crater with MSHI, and the entire experience was fantastic. The guide staff was very passionate, knowledgeable, and attendant to our safety while climbing. Outside of actually climbing into the crater, the staff provided a very comfortable camping experience, with just the right mix of 'roughing it' and creature comforts. I felt the whole experience was a great value especially given the campfire songs led by guided, Sarah and Sierra! Thanks, HSMI. Oh yeah, they fed us REALLY well, too.
