The volcanic scenery around Mount Saint Helens is a unique site. This day trip includes visits to lava caves, lakes, and century-old trees. If you are in Portland, this trip is recommended.

Description

More than 30 years ago, a volcano erupted in southeastern Washington State, devastating the area. Mount Saint Helens is a significant geological site, located 80 kilometers (50 miles) from Portland. Join us to learn more.

At the scheduled time, we will meet at 523 NE 19th Avenue and depart for Mount Saint Helens. During the journey, we will discuss the geological features of the area, including the 18th May 1980 eruption.

Upon arrival, we will hike along one of the prominent trails in Mount Saint Helens, passing waterfalls, lava caves, and forests. The largest lava cave in North America is located here.

If time permits, we will visit the closest viewpoint to the volcano crater, an ideal location to learn about the activity of this stratovolcano. A picnic-style lunch will be enjoyed next to Spirit Lake.

Following our exploration of the surroundings of Mount Saint Helens, we will return to Portland with a stop at a bar for refreshments if desired.

The day trip will conclude after 12 hours at the original meeting point.
