What you'll do
Join us for a day packed full of action and adventure on this iconic volcano! Permits for St. Helens sell out within HOURS each season, so leave it to us to provide the permits, get you to and from the mountain, and up to the crater rim. Starting from the trailhead we will ascend through dense old growth forest and huckleberry bushes. At treeline we will begin to ascend Monitor Ridge, scrambling over huge volcanic boulders. The final push to the summit is steep and challenging, but well worth the reward on the crater rim. There you will enjoy a stunning panorama of the surrounding area and witness the power of the blast from 1980.
Other things to note
This adventure is a FULL day, and you should be in adequate physical condition to attempt the hike.
