From Seattle: Mount Saint Helens Monument Private Day Trip – Castle Rock, Washington

EXPERIENCE

Explore the sights of Mt. St. Helens, a national monument and active volcano dating back 40,000 years. This private tour starting in Seattle takes you to one of Washington State’s five volcanoes.

Visit the Johnston Ridge Visitor Center, the Forest Learning Center, gift shops, and Coldwater Lake, which was caused by an eruption.

After taking off from Seattle, reach Mount St. Helens and start learning about the history of Mt. St. Helens, including the 1980 eruption, the devastation that it caused, and the slow return of nature’s flora and fauna.

Explore all the sights right from the roadway, so there is no need to hike, or you can explore the several trails that range from easy to moderate.

Marvel at the amazing blast side of the mountain, with its new ice glaciers and two new lava cones. Get up close to the blast site, view the mountainside from the Johnston Ridge Observatory and have an optional lunch at a riverside restaurant.
