This Highlight goes through a protected area
Please check local regulations for: Gifford Pinchot National Forest
These plains are teeming with life now, but after Mount St. Helens erupted they were covered in 600 feet of mud from a massive landslide.
As this section of trail nears Spirit Lake you'll encounter the Pumice Plains, one of the areas most affected by the eruption.
