Immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring journey through the rebirth of the Mount St. Helens Blast Zone, from Spirit Lake to the crater's edge. This distinctive off-trail adventure provides a unique vantage point of Crater Glacier, one of the world's fastest-expanding glaciers. Experience this unparalleled view, as close as you can get without stepping into the crater itself. This is a favorite among our staff, offering a deep appreciation for the dynamic and evolving landscape surrounding Mount St. Helens.
