There are many trails in Mount Saint Helens National Volcanic Monument with a variety of diverse landscapes. Crater views, new lakes, ancient lava flows, blown down trees, mud flows and old-growth forest can all be discovered here.
Trails vary in difficulty from short, accessible interpretive loops to longer, steep narrow trails that challenge even experienced hikers. Have fun exploring places like Lava Canyon, the Plains of Abraham, Spirit Lake, Ape Caves, Johnson Ridge, and the Loowit Trail which goes all the way around Mt. St. Helens on 34 miles of backpacking trails.
