Mount St. Helens framed by trees and a grass-covered hummock

Mount St. Helens is located within a National Volcanic Monument, a place set aside to observe how nature responds to a dramatic, geologic event. The ecological systems at Mount St. Helens have surprised us all, with incredible growth and resilience in the decades after the eruption. Alder forests, wildflower meadows, and marshy wetlands are thriving after the eruption.


Help us remove invasive species, and enjoy an educational hike through this dynamic landscape.
