    Tips

    October 7, 2022

    Most people will know the name of Mount St. Helens due to the massive eruption that happened in May 1980. In that event, the top of the mountain was blasted away by the pressure that was released instantly and the north side collapsed with a gigantic landslide.

    Today, the volcano is still mildly active. You can see steam coming out of the crater and timelapse videos show the evolution of new cones over the years. A steep trail will lead you to the rim with some difficult terrain, the true summit is another 0.4 miles to the west. For summiting Mount St. Helens, you need to obtain a permit year round.
