Mt St Helens
Welcome to MountStHelens.com ,
the Information Resource
Center and Visitor Guide for Mount St. Helens.
Johnston Ridge Observatory and the Mt.
St. Helens Forest
Learning Center - elk
viewing, gift store and rest area are ALL OPEN for the 2016 Season !
For Visitor Services call 360-274-7750. The 30 year-old Mt. St.
Helens Visitor Center at
milepost 5 is also open if you have time on the way down, I would save it for
last
($3/person). Not sure what to see ? Its easy - stop at M.P. 33 at the Mount St. Helens
Forest Learning Center ( FREE ADMISSION !) for great
exhibits and cool
shopping - and a
great Mt. St. Helens adventure for the whole family. For the
highlight of your Mount St.
Helens Vacation adventure go to the road end (52 miles from I-5) at Johnston
Ridge
Observatory for the photo-op of the day and watch the short movie there.
Its $8/person to
go in the visitor center but believe me - it's
worth it and your contribution helps maintain the
Monument. Take a Virtual
Drive up the Highway right
now starting at the Mount St. Helens
Forest Learning Center. Thank you for your visit to our Mt. St. Helens
Visitor Travel Guide
and Vacation Planner - your source for Mt. St. Helens Visitor Information.

view? Coming

I-5 Toledo exit 63 shortcut to Hwy 504 via Hwy 505

About Us: This online Mount St. Helens Visitor Guide was
originally created by Candy Richey, an
accomplished newspaper owner who started this site in 1990. I took
over management of the site
several years ago to build on her great tradition of providing an information
resource for our visitors
while helping promote local businesses. I've been hiking, fishing,
hunting, camping, photographing,
4-wheeling, snowmobiling, and otherwise enjoying the Mount St. Helens area since
long before the
eruption in 1980. I've been involved in Mt. St. Helens tourism for the
past 18 years. I hope you enjoy
the site. I welcome your input.
