Welcome to MountStHelens.com, the information and resource center for the Mount
St. Helens area. We welcome your input, and questions. If you should have any specific
requests please feel free to e-mail us. For Visitor Services info call 360-274-7750.
While some of the best weather is in the spring, summer and fall, every season is
wonderful. Check out the view on the Volcanocam. The winter snows provide a beautiful
vision of the mountain and surrounding hillsides. The Silver Lake Mt. St. Helens visitor
center is open year round. All of the merchants are also open year-round for your
convenience. The Johnston Ridge Observatory and Forest Learning Center are
open May through October. Please note that Coldwater Ridge Visitor Center was
decommissioned last year - visit the Forest Learning Center instead - it has better exhibits
- and FREE ADMISSION ! Not sure what to see ? Its easy - stop at the three main
visitor centers: Seaquest at M.P. 5, Continue to M.P. 33 and stop at the Forest Learning
Center for great exhibits and more cool shopping - its also free and a great Mt. St. Helens
adventure for the whole family. Kids will love the Mt. St. Helens Virtual Helicopter Tour.
For the highlight of your Mount St. Helens Vacation adventure go to the road end 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. If you are on a budget its still well worth the drive
up to sight-see from the viewpoints along the highway. Look for elk and eagles that are in
the area. Take a Virtual Drive up the Highway right now starting at the Mount St. Helens
Forest Learning Center. If you have room on your plastic - the helicopter tour of Mount
St. Helens will be the highlight of your trip - see the crater up close and personal and
experience this volcanic eruption first-hand.
Thank you for your visit to our Mt. St. Helens Visitor Travel Guide
and Vacation Planner.

About Us: This online Mount St. Helens Visitor Guide was originally created by Candy Richey, an
accomplished newspaper owner who started and ran the local Valley Bugler until 2007 when she
sold it and retired. I took over management of the site for Candy this year and hope 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 16 years. I hope you enjoy the site. I
welcome your input. For information on the current USFS eruption status of Mount St. Helens visit:
www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/recreation/current-conditions/special.shtml and for USGS news updates see
http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/News/framework.html and for more USGS scientific info on the volcano
