This is trip that so many have been meaning to take for years. Is this the summer you make it?

The trip to Mt. Mt. Helens is more than a day trip, but a day in the Cascades is worth it.

The monument is easily accessable via US 12 and Forest Roads from the Randle area, or US 12 to I-5 and south to Washington 504.
