Locals are unlikely to forget the day Mount St. Helens blew its top back in 1980; ash seemed to cover everything for miles around. When the ash cleared, however, Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument was established and became one of the jewels in Washington's crown.

Day Hiking Mount St. Helens offers hikes ranging from easy interpretative trails of less than a mile to challenging 15-mile workouts--and even a few backpacking trips. Because Mount St. Helens has beauty to offer year-round, you'll also find a handful of snowshoe and cross-country ski adventures, and, because Mount St. Helens is a mountain, there are two summit routes in these pages! What are you waiting for?
