Mount Saint Helens Day Trip

The volcanic scenery around Mount Saint Helens is an enchanting site. On this day trip, we'll see lava caves, lakes, and 100-year-old trees. If you're in Portland you can't miss this day trip!

Description

More than 30 years ago, a volcano violently erupted in the southeast of Washington State, destroying everything in its path. Mount Saint Helens is an exceptional geological site, only 80 kilometers (50 miles) from Portland. Want to find out more? Let's go!

At the time indicated, we'll meet at 523 NE 19th Avenue, and we'll head to Mount Saint Helens. During our journey, we'll explain the geological curiosities that characterize this area, such as the 18th May 1980 eruption.

Upon arrival at our destination, we'll hike along one of the most outstanding routes in Mount Saint Helens, a walk that will take us past waterfalls, lava caves, and beautiful forests. The largest lava cave in North America can be found here.

If we have time, we'll visit the closest viewpoint to the volcano crater, the perfect spot to learn all about this stratovolcano's activity. We'll also have a picnic-style lunch next to Spirit Lake.

Afterwards, we'll continue exploring the areas surrounding Mount Saint Helens. Finally, we'll head back to Portland, stopping at a bar where you can have a drink or snack if you wish.

After 12 hours, the day trip will end at the initial meeting point.
